[lintcode easy]Search Insert Position

Search Insert Position

Given a sorted array and a target value, return the index if the target is found. If not, return the index where it would be if it were inserted in order.

You may assume NO duplicates in the array.

 

Example

[1,3,5,6], 5 → 2

[1,3,5,6], 2 → 1

[1,3,5,6], 7 → 4

[1,3,5,6], 0 → 0

Challenge

O(log(n)) time

 

 

public class Solution {
    /** 
     * param A : an integer sorted array
     * param target :  an integer to be inserted
     * return : an integer
     */
    public int searchInsert(int[] A, int target) {
        // write your code here
        
        if(A.length<0) return 0;
        int j=0;
        for(int i=0;i<A.length;i++)
        {
            if(A[i]==target)
            {
                j=i;
            }
            else if(A[i]<target)
            {
                j++;
            }
        }
        
        return j;
    }
}
