374. Guess Number Higher or Lower
We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:
I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.
Every time you guess wrong, I'll tell you whether the number is higher or lower.
You call a pre-defined API guess(int num)
which returns 3 possible results (-1
, 1
, or 0
):
-1 : My number is lower
1 : My number is higher
0 : Congrats! You got it!
Example :
Input: n = 10, pick = 6
Output: 6
Solution
public class Solution extends GuessGame {
public int guessNumber(int n) {
int lo = 1;
int hi = n;
int mid = 0;
int result = 2;
while(hi - lo > 1){
mid = lo + (hi-lo)/2;
result = guess(mid);
if(result == 0){
return mid;
}else if (result == 1){//higher
lo = mid+1;
}else if (result == -1){
hi = mid-1;
}
}
if( guess(lo) == 0){
return lo;
}else
return hi;
}
}
