[leetcode] Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array

 题目:

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).

Find the minimum element.

You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.

解题思路:

在做过一定面试题的前提下,看到这种在一个与排序有关的数列里找某个数,应该有感觉与二分查找有关。

然后尝试一下一下可以发现,

如果数组的中位数大于末尾数,则最小数应该在后半段。

如果数组的中位数小于末尾数,则最小数应该在前半段或者是中位数。

代码如下

public int findMin(int[] num) {
        int low = 0, high = num.length - 1;
        while (low < high && num[low] >= num[high]) {
            int mid = (low + high) / 2;
            if (num[mid] > num[high])
                low = mid + 1;
            else
                high = mid;
        }
        return num[low];
    }
