374. Guess Number Higher or Lower
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 (-1
, 1
, 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.
本题相对来说比较简单,代码如下:
1 /* The guess API is defined in the parent class GuessGame. 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); */ 5 6 public class Solution extends GuessGame { 7 public int guessNumber(int n) { 8 int low = 1; 9 int high = n; 10 while(low<=high) { 11 int mid = low + ( high - low ) / 2; 12 if(guess(mid)==0) return mid; 13 else if(guess(mid)>0) low = mid+1; 14 else high = mid-1; 15 } 16 return -1; 17 } 18 } 19 //the run time complexity could be O(logn), the space complexity could be O(1);
