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.
public class Solution {
public int search(int[] A, int target) {
if (A == null || A.length == 0) return -1;
int left = 0;
int right = A.length - 1;
while (left <= right) {
int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
if (A[mid] == target) {
return mid;
}
if (A[left] <= A[mid]) {
if (A[left] <= target && target < A[mid]) {
right = mid - 1;
} else {
left = mid + 1;
}
} else {
if (A[mid] < target && target <= A[right]) {
left = mid + 1;
} else {
right = mid - 1;
}
}
}
return -1;
}
}
