374. Guess Number Higher or Lower

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.

思路：二分法

代码1：

public class Solution extends GuessGame {
    public int guessNumber(int n) {
        int begin = 1, end = n, mid;
        while(begin <= end){
            mid = begin + (end - begin)/2;
            int flag = guess(mid);
            if(flag == 0) return mid;
            if(flag < 0) end = mid - 1;
            else begin = mid + 1;
        }
        return begin;
    }
}

public class Solution extends GuessGame {  
    public int guessNumber(int n) {  
        return guessRange(1,n);  
    }  
    public int guessRange(int start,int end){  
        if(start==end){  
            return start;  
        }  
        int middle=start/2+end/2+(start%2+end%2)/2;  
        int ans=guess(middle);  
        if(ans==0){  
            return middle;  
        }  
        if(ans>0){  
            return guessRange(middle+1,end);  
        }  
        return guessRange(start,middle-1);  
    }  
}
