小试 二分法

需求：在小->大的有序数组中找到对应日期的位置。

public class FinderPosition {

	private static int findPositionInArray(int[] i, int target) {
		int cusor = 0, rangeStart = 0, rangeEnd = i.length, findCount = 0;
		while (true) {
			findCount++;
			if(target < i[rangeStart] || target > i[rangeEnd - 1]) {
				cusor =  -1;
				break;
			}
			if (target == i[cusor])
				break;
			cusor = (rangeEnd + rangeStart) / 2;
			if (i[cusor] > target) {
				rangeEnd = cusor;
			}else if (i[cusor] < target){
				rangeStart = cusor;
			}else if (i[cusor] == target) {
				break;
			}
		}
		System.out.println("Found " + findCount +" times, the result is:" + cusor);
		return cusor;
	}

		int target  = 20110420;
		System.out.println("Begin to find: " + target);
		int position = findPositionInArray(i,target);
		if (position != -1)
			System.out.println("position " + position + " is: " + i[position]);

	}
}

结果:
Begin to find: 20110420
Found 7 times, the result is:125
position 125 is: 20110420

2的x方 <= i.length, 循环查找次数不会多于x次.
