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.
class Solution {
public:
int search(int A[], int n, int target) {
// Start typing your C/C++ solution below
// DO NOT write int main() function
if (n == 0) return -1;
int l = 0;
int u = n-1;
while(l <= u)
{
int mid = l+(u-l)/2;
if (A[mid] == target)
return mid;
else if (A[mid] > A[u])
{
if (A[l] <= target && target < A[mid])
{
u = mid - 1;
}
else
{
l = mid + 1;
}
}
else
{
if (A[u] >= target && target > A[mid])
{
l = mid + 1;
}
else
{
u = mid - 1;
}
}
}
return -1;
}
};
