Binary search is a famous question in algorithm.
For a given sorted array (ascending order) and a target number, find the first index of this number in O(log n) time complexity.
If the target number does not exist in the array, return -1.
样例
If the array is [1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 10], for given target 3, return 2.
挑战
If the count of numbers is bigger than MAXINT, can your code work properly?
class Solution { /** * @param nums: The integer array. * @param target: Target to find. * @return: The first position of target. Position starts from 0. */ public int binarySearch(int[] nums, int target) { int l = 0; int h = nums.length - 1; while (l <= h) { int m = l / 2 + h / 2 + (l % 2 & h % 2); if (nums[m] == target) { while (m > 0 && nums[m - 1] == target) m--; return m; } else if (nums[m] > target) { h = m - 1; } else if (nums[m] < target) { l = m + 1; } } return -1; } }
