There is an integer array nums sorted in ascending order (with distinct values). Prior to being passed to your function, nums is possibly rotated at an unknown pivot index k (1 <= k < nums.length) such that the resulting array is [nums[k], nums[k+1], ..., nums[n-1], nums[0], nums[1], ..., nums[k-1]] (0-indexed). For example, [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] might be rotated at pivot index 3 and become [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]. Given the array nums after the possible rotation and an integer target, return the index of target if it is in nums, or -1 if it is not in nums. You must write an algorithm with $O(log(n))$ runtime complexity.
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
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1], target = 0
Output: -1
시간복잡도를 $O(log(n))$을 충족시키기 위해서는 binary search 방법을 사용해야 한다.
class Solution:
def search(self, nums: List[int], target: int) -> int:
low, high = 0, len(nums) - 1
while low <= high:
mid = (low + high) // 2
if target == nums[mid]:
return mid
if nums[low] <= nums[mid]:
if nums[low] <= target <= nums[mid]:
high = mid - 1
else:
low = mid + 1
else:
if nums[mid] <= target <= nums[high]:
low = mid + 1
else:
high = mid - 1
return -1
