81. Search in Rotated Sorted Array II
package LeetCode_81 /** * 81. Search in Rotated Sorted Array II * https://leetcode.com/problems/search-in-rotated-sorted-array-ii/description/ * * Suppose an array sorted in ascending order is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand. (i.e., [0,0,1,2,2,5,6] might become [2,5,6,0,0,1,2]). You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return true, otherwise return false. Example 1: Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2], target = 0 Output: true Example 2: Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2], target = 3 Output: false [1,3,1,1,1] 3 true Follow up: This is a follow up problem to Search in Rotated Sorted Array, where nums may contain duplicates. Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why? * */ class Solution { fun search(nums: IntArray, target: Int): Boolean { var left = 0 var right = nums.size - 1 while (left <= right) { val mid = (left + right) / 2 if (nums[mid] == target) { return true } //if num[left..mid] first subarray is sorted if (nums[left] < nums[mid]) { if (nums[left] <= target && target <= nums[mid]) { right = mid - 1 } else { left = mid + 1 } } else if (nums[left] > nums[mid]) { if (nums[mid] <= target && target <= nums[right]) { left = mid + 1 } else { right = mid - 1 } } else { left++//we checking the left below } } return false } }
