33. 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
Example 2:
Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2], target = 3
Output: -1
Code:
class Solution(object):
def search(self, nums, target):
lo, hi = 0, len(nums) - 1
while lo < hi:
mid = (lo + hi) / 2
if (nums[0] > target) ^ (nums[0] > nums[mid]) ^ (target > nums[mid]):
lo = mid + 1
else:
hi = mid
return lo if target in nums[lo:lo+1] else -1y
