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.
题意:有一猜大小函数,若大,返回1,若小,返回-1,相等返回0。给定一个范围,返回猜中的给定的数。
思路:二分法
// Forward declaration of guess API.
// @param num, your guess
// @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
int guess(int num);
class Solution {
public:
int guessNumber(int n) {
int max = n, min = 1;
while (true) {
int mid = (max - min) / 2 + min;
int res = guess(mid);
if (res == 0) return mid;
else if (res == 1) min = mid + 1;
else max = mid - 1;
}
}
};
