searching in rotated sorted array, is kinda the same as searching in a common array, the only difference is that, you need to concern which part is you really want.
time: O(n)
space: O(1)
class Solution {
public int search(int[] nums, int target) {
int lo = 0, hi = nums.length - 1;
while (lo <= hi) {
int mid = lo + (hi - lo) / 2;
if (target == nums[mid])
return mid;
if (nums[mid] < nums[lo]) {
// 6,7,0,1,2,3,4,5
if (target < nums[mid] || target >= nums[lo])
hi = mid - 1;
else
lo = mid + 1;
} else {
// 2,3,4,5,6,7,0,1
if (target > nums[mid] || target < nums[lo])
lo = mid + 1;
else
hi = mid - 1;
}
}
return -1;
}
}
