[leetcode] 374. Guess Number Higher or Lower

Question:

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.

Solution:

简单的二分。注意类型用long long，因为测试数据会非常大。
时间复杂度：O（logn）
空间复杂度：O（1）

// Forward declaration of guess API.
// @param num, your guess
// @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
int guess(int num);

class Solution {
public:
    int guessNumber(int n) {
        long long l = 1, r = n;
        while (l <= r) {
            long long mid = (l + r) / 2;
            int tmp = guess(mid);
            if (tmp == 0) return mid;
            if (tmp == 1)
                l = mid + 1;
            else
                r = mid-1;
        }
        return -1;
    }
};
