Suppose a sorted array is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.
(i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7
might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2
).
You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return its index, otherwise return -1.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
class Solution(object):
def search(self, nums, target):
"""
:type nums: List[int]
:type target: int
:rtype: int
"""
left = 0
right = len(nums)-1
while left <= right:
pivot = left + ((right - left) >> 1)
if nums[pivot] == target:
return pivot
if nums[left] <= nums[pivot]:
if nums[left] <= target < nums[pivot]:
right = pivot - 1
else:
left = pivot + 1
else:
if nums[pivot] < target <= nums[right]:
left = pivot + 1
else:
right = pivot - 1
return -1
