374 Guess Number Higher or Lower (Easy)
We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:
I pick a number from1ton. 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 APIguess(int num)
which returns 3 possible results (-1
,1
, or0
):
-1 : My number is lower
1 : My number is higher
0 : Congrats! You got it!
Here "My" means the number which is given for you to guess not the number you put into guess(int num).
public int guessNumber(int n) {
int i = 1, j = n;
while(i < j) {
int mid = i + (j - i) / 2;
if(guess(mid) == 0) {
return mid;
} else if(guess(mid) == 1) {
i = mid + 1;
} else {
j = mid;
}
}
return i;
}
