Given an array of integers nums which is sorted in ascending order, and an integer target, write a function to search target in nums. If target exists, then return its index. Otherwise, return -1.
You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [-1,0,3,5,9,12], target = 9 Output: 4 Explanation: 9 exists in nums and its index is 4
Example 2:
Input: nums = [-1,0,3,5,9,12], target = 2 Output: -1 Explanation: 2 does not exist in nums so return -1
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 104-104 < nums[i], target < 104nums are unique.nums is sorted in ascending order.
class Solution {
public int search(int[] nums, int target) {
int start = 0 ;
int end = nums.length-1;
while(start<=end){
int mid = (start + end)/2;
if(nums[mid]==target){
return mid ;
}else if ( target > nums[mid]){
start = mid +1 ;
}else{
end = mid -1 ;
}
}
return -1 ;
}
}
