LeetCode Q 153 - Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array
Suppose an array sorted in ascending order 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]).
Find the minimum element.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
Solution
Code:
public int findMin(int[] nums) {
int left = 0, right = nums.length - 1;
if (left == right || nums[left] < nums[right])
return nums[left];
while (left < right) {
int mid = (left + right) / 2;
if (nums[mid] > nums[nums.length - 1])
left = mid + 1;
else
right = mid;
}
return nums[left];
}
