153. Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array

Suppose an array of length n sorted in ascending order is rotated between 1 and n times. For example, the array nums = [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] might become:

  • [4,5,6,7,0,1,2] if it was rotated 4 times.
  • [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] if it was rotated 7 times.

Notice that rotating an array [a[0], a[1], a[2], ..., a[n-1]] 1 time results in the array [a[n-1], a[0], a[1], a[2], ..., a[n-2]].

Given the sorted rotated array nums of unique elements, return the minimum element of this array.

You must write an algorithm that runs in O(log n) time.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,4,5,1,2] Output: 1 Explanation: The original array was [1,2,3,4,5] rotated 3 times.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2] Output: 0 Explanation: The original array was [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] and it was rotated 4 times.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [11,13,15,17] Output: 11 Explanation: The original array was [11,13,15,17] and it was rotated 4 times.

 

Constraints:

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 5000
  • -5000 <= nums[i] <= 5000
  • All the integers of nums are unique.
  • nums is sorted and rotated between 1 and n times.

前/後半段若不是順排, 代表最小值落在其中, 以該區段繼續搜尋,
若皆為順排, 取最左元素回傳, 剩2個元素時, 以較小值回傳

public int FindMin(int[] nums)
{
    int left = 0;
    int right = nums.Length - 1;
    while (left < right - 1)
    {
        int mid = (left + right) >> 1;
        if (nums[left] > nums[mid])
            right = mid;
        else if (nums[mid] > nums[right])
            left = mid;
        else//ascending
            return nums[left];
    }
    return Math.Min(nums[left], nums[right]);
}
