744. Find Smallest Letter Greater Than Target(大于给定元素的最小元素)(leetcode)

Given a list of sorted characters letters containing only lowercase letters, and given a target letter target, find the smallest element in the list that is larger than the given target.

Letters also wrap around. For example, if the target is target = 'z' and letters = ['a', 'b'], the answer is 'a'.

Examples:

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "a"
Output: "c"

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "c"
Output: "f"

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "d"
Output: "f"

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "g"
Output: "j"

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "j"
Output: "c"

Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "k"
Output: "c"

Note:

    1. letters has a length in range [2, 10000].
    2. letters consists of lowercase letters, and contains at least 2 unique letters.
    3. target is a lowercase letter.

 分析:当遇到数组已经排序时的查找题。应先想到二分法。时间复杂度低。

 时间复杂度:o(logn)                         空间复杂度:o(1)

苟有恒,何必三更眠五更起;最无益,莫过一日暴十日寒。
