Suppose a sorted array is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.
(i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7
might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2
).
You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return its index, otherwise return -1.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
class Solution {
public:
int search(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
int n = nums.size();
int left = 0,right = n-1,mid;
while(left<=right)
{
mid = (left+right)/2;
if(nums[mid]==target) return mid;
else if(nums[left]<nums[mid])
{
if(nums[left]<=target&&target<nums[mid]) right = mid-1;
else left = mid+1;
}
else
{
if(nums[mid+1]<=target&&target<=nums[right]) left = mid+1;
else right = mid-1;
}
}
return -1;
}
};
