374. Guess Number Higher or Lower-CSDN博客

题目：

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.            

答案：

 1 // Forward declaration of guess API.
 2 // @param num, your guess
 3 // @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
 4 int guess(int num);
