problem:
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 :
Input: n = 10, pick = 6
Output: 6
tip:
找出给定的值,使用二分法即可实现。
solution:
int guess(int num);
class Solution {
public:
int guessNumber(int n)
{
int low = 1;
int high = n;
while(low <= high)
{
int mid = low+(high-low)/2;
if(guess(mid) == 0) return mid;
else
if(guess(mid) == -1) high = mid-1;
else
if(guess(mid) == 1) low = mid+1;
}
return -1;
}
};
以下写法效率更高:
class Solution {
public:
int guessNumber(int n)
{
int low = 1;
int high = n;
while(low <= high)
{
int mid = low+(high-low)/2;
int kid = guess(mid);
if(kid == 0) return mid;
else
if(kid == -1) high = mid-1;
else
if(kid == 1) low = mid+1;
}
return -1;
}
};
