Leetcode - Search in Rotated Sorted Array
https://leetcode.com/problems/search-in-rotated-sorted-array/
Suppose an array sorted in ascending order 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.
Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
Example 1:
Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]
, target = 0
Output: 4
func search(nums []int, target int) int { left := 0 right := len(nums)-1 var mid int for left <= right { mid = (left+right)/2 if nums[mid] == target { return mid } if nums[mid] <= nums[right] {//pivot is on left side if target > nums[mid] && target <= nums[right] { left = mid + 1 } else { right = mid - 1 } } else { // pivot is on right side if target >= nums[left] && target < nums[mid] { right = mid - 1 } else { left = mid + 1 } } } return -1 }
