Suppose a sorted array is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.

(i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2).

You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return its index, otherwise return -1.

You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.

这个题目曾经面试的时候遇到过，当时面试结果是萎了，做这道题目的时候才知道自己为什么萎了，这个题目需要考虑六种情况，分别是target和nums[mid]跟nums[0]比较。我当时只是用target跟nums[0]比较。

public class Solution {

	public int search(int[] nums, int target) {
        if(nums[0]==target){
        	return 0;
        }
        int i = 0;int j = nums.length-1;
        while(i<=j){
        	int mid=(i+j)/2;
        	if(nums[mid]==target){
        		return mid;
        	}
        	else{
        		if(nums[0]<=target){
        			if(nums[mid]>=target){
        				j=mid-1;
        			}
        			else{
        				if(nums[mid]>=nums[0]){
        					i=mid+1;
        				}
        				else{
        					j=mid-1;
        				}
        			}
        		}
        		else{
        			if(nums[mid]>=target){
        				if(nums[mid]>=nums[0]){
        					i=mid+1;
        				}
        				else{
        					j=mid-1;
        				}
        			}
        			else{
        				i=mid+1;
        			}
        		}
        	}
        }
        return -1;
    }
