【数组4】数字在排序数组中出现的次数

题目：1,2,3,3,3,3,4,5   当key=3时返回4

思路：二分查找

（1）找到key在数组中出现的开始位置和结束位置，用二分查找法

时间复杂度：O(logn )

def searchFirst(array,key):
    start=0
    end=len(array)-1
    while(start <= end):
        mid=(start+end)/2

        if(array[mid]==key):
            if(array[mid-1]!=key):
                return mid
            else:
                end=mid-1

        elif array[mid]>key:
            end=mid-1

        else:
            start=mid+1

def searchLast(array,key):
    start=0
    end=len(array)-1
    while(start <= end):
        mid=(start+end)/2

        if(array[mid]==key):
            if(array[mid+1]!=key):
                return mid
            else:
                start=mid+1

        elif array[mid]>key:
            end=mid-1

        else:
        start=mid+1

def searchNum(array,key):
    first=searchFirst(array,key)
    last=searchLast(array,key)
    print last-first+1

if __name__=="__main__":
    array=[1,2,3,3,3,3,4,5]
    searchNum(array,3)
