LeetCode Guess Number Higher or Lower

题目：

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):

题解：

此题就是通过二分来查找数字，那么我们可以看到，通过二分来查找某个数字特别快，但这里有一个坑，取中间值的时候，必须要小心，一定要用left + (right - left) / 2来做，而不能用(left + right) / 2来做，因为这样很容易越界，如果数字边界很大的话。以后用到二分查找，mid值一定要用left + (right - left) / 2来取。这样比较安全，可以防止越界。

/* The guess API is defined in the parent class GuessGame.
   @param num, your guess
   @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
      int guess(int num); */

public class Solution extends GuessGame 
{
    public int guessNumber(int n) 
    {
        if(guess(n) == 0)
           return n;
        int left = 1;
        int right = n;
        while(left < right)
        {
            int mid = left + (right - left)/2;
            if(guess(mid) == 0)
               return mid;
            else if(guess(mid) == -1)
               right = mid - 1;
            else if(guess(mid) > 0)
               left = mid + 1;
        }
        return left;
    }
