题目描述:
Given an array of integers sorted in ascending order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.
Your algorithm’s runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
If the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1].
For Example:
Given [5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10] and target value 8,
return [3, 4].
思路:
要求logn的复杂度那么首先想到的就是二分查找,在找到一个相等点后再分别找到左右边界的索引值返回(更好的操作是在查找左右边界的时候也用二分查找)
AC代码:
class Solution(object):
def searchRange(self, nums, target):
"""
:type nums: List[int]
:type target: int
:rtype: List[int]
"""
l, r = 0, len(nums) - 1
isA = True
while l <= r:
m = (l + r) // 2
if nums[m] > target:
r = m - 1
elif nums[m] < target:
l = m + 1
else:
l, r = m, m
# 找到左右边界
while target == nums[l - 1] and l > 0:
l -= 1
while r < len(nums) - 1 and target == nums[r + 1]:
r += 1
isA = False
break
if isA is True:
return [-1, -1]
else:
return [l, r]
