问题描述
Given an array of integers sorted in ascending order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.
Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
If the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1].
For example,
Given [5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10]
and target value 8,
return [3, 4]
.
问题分析
在升序数组中找到target的开始下标和终止下标,没有target则返回{-1, -1}。需要时间复杂度为O(log n),这里直接想到二分查找时间复杂度就是O(log n),所以用两个二分查找就可以解决这个问题。
