61. 搜索区间

给定一个包含 n 个整数的排序数组，找出给定目标值 target 的起始和结束位置。

如果目标值不在数组中，则返回[-1, -1]

样例
给出[5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10]和目标值target=8,

返回[3, 4]

Python:

class Solution:
"""
@param A : a list of integers
@param target : an integer to be searched
@return : a list of length 2, [index1, index2]
"""
def searchRange(self, A, target):
    if A is None or len(A) == 0:
        return [-1, -1]
    # search for left point
    start, end = 0, len(A) - 1
    while start + 1 < end:
        mid = start + (end - start) / 2
        if A[mid] < target:
            start = mid
        else:
            end = mid
    if A[start] == target:
        left = start
    elif A[end] == target:
        left = end
    else:
        return [-1, -1]

    # search for right point
    start, end = 0, len(A) - 1
    while start + 1 < end:
        mid = start + (end - start) / 2
        if A[mid] > target:
            end = mid
        else:
            start = mid
    if A[end] == target:
        right = end
    elif A[start] == target:
        right = start

    return [left, right]
