Let's call an array A
a mountain if the following properties hold:
A.length >= 3
- There exists some
0 < i < A.length - 1
such thatA[0] < A[1] < ... A[i-1] < A[i] > A[i+1] > ... > A[A.length - 1]
Given an array that is definitely a mountain, return any i
such that A[0] < A[1] < ... A[i-1] < A[i] > A[i+1] > ... > A[A.length - 1]
.
Example 1:
Input: [0,1,0] Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: [0,2,1,0] Output: 1
public int peakIndexInMountainArray(int[] A) {
int l = 1, h = A.length -2;
while(l < h) {
int m = ((h - l) >> 1) + l ;
if(A[m] > A[m + 1] && A[m] > A[m - 1]) return m;
if(A[m] > A[m -1] && A[m + 1] > A[m]) l = m + 1;
if(A[m] < A[m -1] && A[m + 1] < A[m]) h = m;
}
return l;
