Problem Statement:
Given an array of integers nums which is sorted in ascending order, and an integer target, write a function to search target in nums. If target exists, then return its index.
Otherwise, return -1.
You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [-1,0,3,5,9,12], target = 9
Output: 4
Explanation: 9 exists in nums and its index is 4
Example 2:
Input: nums = [-1,0,3,5,9,12], target = 2
Output: -1
Explanation: 2 does not exist in nums so return -1
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 104
-104 < nums[i], target < 104
All the integers in nums are unique.
nums is sorted in ascending order.
Solution:
class Solution {
public int search(int[] nums, int t) {
return bsearch(nums,t,0,nums.length-1);
}
public int bsearch(int []nums, int t, int l, int high)
{
if(high<l)
return -1;
int mid = l+(high-l)/2;
if(nums[mid]==t)
return mid;
if(nums[mid]>t)
return bsearch(nums,t,l,mid-1);
return bsearch(nums,t,mid+1,high);
}
}
