Leetcode 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!
