374. Guess Number Higher or Lower

题目:

We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows: 

I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.

Every time you guess wrong, I'll tell you whether the number is higher or lower.

You call a pre-defined API guess(int num) which returns 3 possible results (-11, or 0):

-1 : My number is lower
 1 : My number is higher
 0 : Congrats! You got it!

Example:

n = 10, I pick 6.
Return 6.            

答案:
二分查找思想
 1 // Forward declaration of guess API.
 2 // @param num, your guess
 3 // @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
 4 int guess(int num);

12             mid=low+(high-low)/2;                   //直接写mid=(low+high)/2会溢出
13             if(guess(mid)==0){
14                 return mid;
15             }
16             else if(guess(mid)==-1){
17                 high=mid-1;
18             }
19             else{
20                 low=mid+1;
21             }
22         }
23         return mid;
