Given a sorted array of integers, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.
Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
If the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1]
.
For example,
Given [5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10]
and target value 8,
return [3, 4]
.
public class Solution {
public int[] searchRange(int[] nums, int target) {
int start = 0;
int end = nums.length - 1;
while(start <= end){
int mid = (start + end)/2;
if(nums[mid] > target){
end = mid - 1;
continue;
}
else if (nums[mid] < target){
start = mid + 1;
continue;
}
else {
int[] result = new int[2];
int i = mid;
while(i >= 0 && nums[i] == nums[mid]){
i--;
}
result[0] = i + 1;
i = mid;
while(i < nums.length && nums[i] == nums[mid]){
i++;
}
result[1] = i - 1;
return result;
}
}
return new int[] {-1, -1};
}
}
