[LeetCode] H-Index II

Given an array of citations sorted in ascending order (each citation is a non-negative integer) of a researcher, write a function to compute the researcher's h-index.

According to the definition of h-index on Wikipedia: "A scientist has index h if h of his/her N papers have at least h citations each, and the other N − h papers have no more than h citations each."

Example:

Input: citations = [0,1,3,5,6]
Output: 3 
Explanation: [0,1,3,5,6] means the researcher has 5 papers in total and each of them had 
             received 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 citations respectively. 
             Since the researcher has 3 papers with at least 3 citations each and the remaining 
             two with no more than 3 citations each, her h-index is 3.

Note:

If there are several possible values for h, the maximum one is taken as the h-index.

Follow up:

• This is a follow up problem to H-Index, where citations is now guaranteed to be sorted in ascending order.
• Could you solve it in logarithmic time complexity?

class Solution {
public:
    int hIndex(vector<int>& citations) {
        int len = citations.size(), left = 0, right = len - 1;
        while (left <= right) {
            int mid = 0.5 * (left + right);
            if (citations[mid] == len - mid) return len - mid;
            else if (citations[mid] > len - mid) right = mid - 1;
            else left = mid + 1;
        }
        return len - left;
    }
};
