面试题8：旋转数组的最小数字

问题说明：

1.原数组是排序的，将数组开始几位搬到末尾，例如{3,4,5,1,2}是{1,2,3,4,5}的一个旋转；

2.遍历一遍时间复杂度为O(n)；

3.充分利用排序信息，二分思想，时间复杂度为O(logn)

public static int getMinValueIndex(int[] rotate){
		int len = 0;
		if(rotate == null || (len = rotate.length) == 0){
			throw new IllegalArgumentException();
		}
		// only one element so return 0
		if(len <= 1) return 0;
		
		// len >= 2 && rotate[index1] < rotate[index2]
		// now isSorted indicates that (int[] rotate) does not rotate  any element
		int index1 = 0;// this always points first increased array
		int index2 = len - 1;// this always points second increased array  
		boolean isSorted = (rotate[index1] < rotate[index2]);
		if(isSorted) return index1;

		// len >= 2 && rotate[index1] >= rotate[index2]
		int midIndex = 0;
		while((index1 < index2) && ((index2 - index1) != 1)){
			midIndex = (index1 + index2) >> 1;
			boolean isNotJudged = ((rotate[index1] == rotate[index2]) && (rotate[index1] == rotate[midIndex]));
			
			if(isNotJudged) return MinValueOrderIndexOf(rotate, index1,index2);
			
			// rotate[index1] > rotate[index2]
			// if isInLeft is false ,so at least 
			// rotate[midIndex] >= rotate[index1] because midIndex >= index1
			// so isInRight does not need because is opposite to isInLeft 
			boolean isInLeft = (rotate[midIndex] <= rotate[index2]);
			boolean isInRight = (rotate[midIndex] >= rotate[index1]);
			if(isInLeft){
				index2 = midIndex; 
			}
			if(isInRight){
				index1 = midIndex;
			}
		}
		//assert index2 -index1 == 1;
		return index2;

		int minIndex = fromIndex;
		for(int i = fromIndex; i <= toIndex; i++){

				minIndex = i;
