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.
public class Solution {
public int search(int[] A, int target) {
int pivot = 0;
int n = A.length;
int left = 0, right = n - 1;
int mid = (left + right) / 2;
//find pivot
while (left <= right) {
mid = (left + right) / 2;
if (A[left] >= A[mid])
right = mid - 1;
else
left = mid + 1;
if (mid > 0 && A[mid] < A[mid - 1]) {
pivot = mid;
break;
}
if (mid < n - 1 && A[mid] > A[mid + 1]) {
pivot = mid + 1;
break;
}
}
left = 0;
right = n - 1;
//find target.
while (left <= right) {
mid = (left + right) / 2;
int m = (mid + pivot) % n;
if (target > A[m]) {
left = mid + 1;
}
else if (target < A[m]) {
right = mid - 1;
}
else
return m;
}
return -1;
}
}
