Suppose a sorted array 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
).
Find the minimum element.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
题目的大意是:在一个排过序,然后从其中的某点旋转过的数组中找到最小的值。经过测试发现遍历一遍的方法也可以通过(感觉测试数据不是很好)。结题思路:分治法。直接上代码:
int help(vector<int> &num, int start, int end){
if(num[start] < num[end])
return num[start];
int mid = (start + end) / 2;
if(num[start] < num[mid] ){
int tmp = help(num,mid+1,end);
return tmp < num[start]? tmp:num[start];
}
else if(num[start] == num[mid]){
return num[start] < num[end] ? num[start] : num[end];
}
else{
int tmp = help(num,start,mid - 1);
return tmp < num[mid]? tmp:num[mid];
}
}
int findMin(vector<int> &num) {
int len = num.size();
if(num.empty())
return - 1;
return help(num,0,len - 1);
return 0;
}
