Follow up for "Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array":
What if duplicates are allowed?Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why?
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.
The array may contain duplicates.
Note: binary search
Run time complexity is O(logn), space complexity is constant space.

public class Solution { public int findMin(int[] num) { int L = 0, R = num.length - 1; while(L < R && num[L] >= num[R]) { //when num[L] < num[R], num[L] is the minimum number, just return num[L] int mid = (L + R) / 2; if(num[mid] > num[R]) { L = mid + 1; }else if(num[mid] < num[L]) { R = mid; }else { //num[L] == num[mid] == num[R] L = L + 1; } } return num[L]; } }
