374. Guess Number Higher or Lower猜数大小

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.

猜数游戏，要求返回指定的数字，可调用guess(n)查看所猜的数字n与指定数字的大小关系。

// Forward declaration of guess API.

// @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:

        int low=1;

        while(low<=n){

            int mid=low+(n-low)/2;

            int res=guess(mid);

            if(res==0)  return mid;

            else if(res==-1)    n=mid-1;

            else    low=mid+1;

        }

        return -1;
