Peak Index in a Mountain Array
阿新 • • 發佈:2018-12-25
Let's call an array A
a mountain if the following properties hold:
A.length >= 3
- There exists some
0 < i < A.length - 1
such thatA[0] < A[1] < ... A[i-1] < A[i] > A[i+1] > ... > A[A.length - 1]
Given an array that is definitely a mountain, return any i
such that A[0] < A[1] < ... A[i-1] < A[i] > A[i+1] > ... > A[A.length - 1]
.
Example 1:
Input: [0,1,0]
Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: [0,2,1,0]
Output: 1
Note:
3 <= A.length <= 10000
0 <= A[i] <= 10^6
- A is a mountain, as defined above.
思路:就是這個array guarantee 是有mountain point的,題目只要找出來index。
利用性質來做binary search,A[mid-1] < A[mid] > A[mid+1], 這才是mountain point,如果落到左邊A[mid-1] < A[mid] , start = mid;如果落到右邊,A[mid] > A[mid+1] , end = mid;
class Solution { public int peakIndexInMountainArray(int[] A) { int start = 0; int end = A.length-1; while(start<=end){ int mid = start+(end-start)/2; if(A[mid] > A[mid-1] && A[mid]> A[mid+1]){ return mid; } else if(A[mid] > A[mid-1]){ start = mid; } else { end = mid; } } return start; } }
