/* Author: Andy, nkuwjg@gmail.com Date: Oct 22, 2014 Problem: Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array Difficulty: Medium Source: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/find-minimum-in-rotated-sorted-array/ Notes: 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). Find the minimum element. You may assume no duplicate exists in the array. */ public class Solution { public int findMin(int[] num) { if (num.length == 0) return 0; int left = 0, right = num.length -1; while (left < right && num[left] > num[right]) { int mid = left + (right - left) / 2; if (num[mid] > num[right]) left = mid + 1; else right = mid; } return num[left]; } }
