Today I have done leetcode's February LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.

February LeetCoding Challenge 20

Description

Search Insert Position

Given a sorted array of distinct integers and a target value, return the index if the target is found. If not, return the index where it would be if it were inserted in order.

You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3,5,6], target = 5
Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,3,5,6], target = 2
Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,3,5,6], target = 7
Output: 4

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 104
  • -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
  • nums contains distinct values sorted in ascending order.
  • -104 <= target <= 104

Solution

auto speedup = [](){
  cin.tie(nullptr);
  cout.tie(nullptr);
  ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
  return 0;
}();
class Solution {
public:
  int searchInsert(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
    int begin = 0, end = nums.size();
    nums.push_back(INT_MAX);
    while(begin < end) {
      int mid = (begin + end) >> 1;
      if(nums[mid] < target) {
        begin = mid + 1;
      } else {
        end = mid;
      }
    }
    return begin;
  }
};
