Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array
题目:
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).
Find the minimum element.
分析:
Finde minimum比search target简单的多,因为分类的时候就2种情况。A[mid]在上面和A[mid]在下面。
解法:
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param num: a rotated sorted array
* @return: the minimum number in the array
*/
int findMin(vector<int> &num) {
// write your code here
if (num.size() == 0) {
return 0;
}
int start = 0;
int end = num.size() - 1;
while (start + 1 < end) {
int mid = start + (end - start) / 2;
if (num[mid] > num[end]) {
start = mid;
} else {
end = mid;
}
}
return (num[start] < num[end]) ? num[start] : num[end];
}
};
