1 解题思想

这道题就我们平常玩的最多的猜数字。。

它内置了一个方法，可以告诉你数字是大是小。。

其实也就是二分法。。没啥好说的

2 原题

We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:

I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.

Every time you guess wrong, I’ll tell you whether the number is higher or lower.

You call a pre-defined API guess(int num) which returns 3 possible results (-1, 1, or 0):
-1 : My number is lower
1 : My number is higher
0 : Congrats! You got it!

Example:

n = 10, I pick 6.

Return 6.

3 AC解

/* The guess API is defined in the parent class GuessGame.
   @param num, your guess
   @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
      int guess(int num); */

public class Solution extends GuessGame {
    public int guessNumber(int n) {
        int start = 1;
        int end = n;
        int mid;
        int tmp;
        while(start < end){
            mid = start/2 + end/2;
            tmp = guess(mid);
            if ( tmp == 0) return mid;
            else if ( tmp == 1){
                start = mid + 1;
            } else{
                end = mid - 1;
            }
        }
        return start;

    }
}
