finding pivot in rotated array code example
Example: search in rotated sorted array
//pseudocode
function search( arr[], key, low, high)
mid = (low + high) / 2
// key not present
if(low > high)
return -1
// key found
if(arr[mid] == key)
return mid
// if left half is sorted.
if(arr[low] <= arr[mid])
// if key is present in left half.
if (arr[low] <= key && arr[mid] >= key)
return search(arr,key,low,mid-1)
// if key is not present in left half..search right half.
else
return search(arr,key,mid+1,high)
end-if
// if right half is sorted.
else
// if key is present in right half.
if(arr[mid] <= key && arr[high] >= key)
return search(arr,key,mid+1,high)
// if key is not present in right half..search in left half.
else
return search(arr,key,low,mid-1)
end-if
end-if
