Search in Rotated Sorted Array II
Try to solve the Search in Rotated Sorted Array II problem.
We'll cover the following
Statement
You are required to find an integer value target
in an array arr
of non-distinct integers. Before being passed as input to your search function, arr
has been processed as follows:
It has been sorted in non-descending order.
It has been rotated around some pivot
, such that, after rotation, it looks like this: [nums[k], nums[k+1], ..., nums[n-1], nums[0], nums[1], ..., nums[k-1]]
. For example,[10, 30, 40, 42, 42, 47, 78, 90, 901]
, rotated around pivotbecomes [47, 78, 90, 901, 10, 30, 40, 42, 42]
.
Return TRUE if t
exists in the rotated, sorted array arr
, and FALSE otherwise, while minimizing the number of operations in the search.
Note: In this problem, the value of
is not passed to your search function.
Constraints
arr.length
arr[i]
arr
is guaranteed to be rotated at some pivot index.t
