CareerCup-PATTERN MATCHING
CareerCup是一本相当好Code面试的书,开始研读。
Description:
Consider what problems the algorithm is similar to, and figure out if you can modify the solution to develop an algorithm for this problem
Example:
A sorted array has been rotated so that the elements might appear in the order 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 How would you find the minimum element?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int find(int* data, int low, int high)
{
printf("%d->%d\n", low, high);
if(low == high)
return data[low];
if(data[low] < data[high])
return data[low];
int mid = (low + high)/2;
if(data[mid] >= data[low])
return find(data, mid+1, high);
else
return find(data, low, mid);
};
int main()
{
int data[] = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2};
printf("%d", find(data, 0, sizeof(data)/sizeof(int)-1));
system("pause");
};
