description:
There is an integer array which has the following features:
The numbers in adjacent positions are different.
A[0] < A[1] && A[A.length - 2] > A[A.length - 1].
We define a position P is a peek if:
A[P] > A[P-1] && A[P] > A[P+1]
Find a peak element in this array. Return the index of the peak.
Notice
The array may contains multiple peeks, find any of them.
又是一个二分法可以完美解决的问题
bug free
class Solution {
/**
* @param A: An integers array.
* @return: return any of peek positions.
*/
public int findPeak(int[] A) {
// write your code here
if (A == null || A.length == 0) {
return -1;
}
int start = 1;
int end = A.length - 2;
while (start + 1 < end) {
int mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
if (A[mid] < A[mid - 1]) {
end = mid;
} else if (A[mid] < A[mid + 1]) {
start = mid;
} else {
end = mid;
}
}
if (A[start] > A[end]) {
return start;
} else {
return end;
