Suppose a sorted array is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.
(i.e.,
0 1 2 4 5 6 7 might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2).
You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return its index, otherwise return -1.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
Solution:
public class Solution {
public int search(int[] A, int target) {
int begin = 0;
int end = A.length-1;
boolean targetInRotated = target>=A[0];
while(begin<=end)
{
int midpoint = (begin+end)/2;
if(A[midpoint]==target)
return midpoint;
else if(targetInRotated && A[midpoint]<A[0])
end = midpoint - 1;
else if(!targetInRotated && A[midpoint]>=A[0])
begin = midpoint + 1;
else if(A[midpoint]<target)
begin = midpoint + 1;
else
end = midpoint -1;
}
return -1;
}
}
