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.
解法一:
折半猜数字。使用一个shift去标识区间。
// 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 left = 1;
while(left<n){
int mid = (n-left)/2 + left;
int g = guess(mid);
if (g == 0) return mid;
else if (g == -1) return n = mid;
else left = mid;
}
return left;
}
};
