LeetCode33 Search in Rotated Sorted Array 搜索旋转排序数组

1. problem description

Suppose an array sorted in ascending order 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.

Your algorithm’s runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).

Example 1:

Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2], target = 0
Output: 4

Example 2:

Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2], target = 3
Output: -1

2. solution

int search(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
    int lo = 0, hi = int(nums.size()) - 1;
    while (lo < hi) {
        int mid = (lo + hi) / 2;
        if ((nums[0] > target) ^ (nums[0] > nums[mid]) ^ (target > nums[mid]))
            lo = mid + 1;
        else
            hi = mid;
    }
    return lo == hi && nums[lo] == target ? lo : -1;
}
