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.
/* 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) {
int top=n,bot=0,guess = (top+bot)/2,status=guess(guess);
while(status!=0){
if(status<0){
top=guess-1;
guess=(int)(((long)top+(long)bot)/2);
}
else {
bot=guess+1;
guess=(int)(((long)top+(long)bot)/2);
}
status=guess(guess);
