Guess Number High or Low
We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:
I pick a number from 1 to n. 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 API guess(int num) which returns 3 possible results (-1, 1, or 0):
-1 : My number is lower
1 : My number is higher
0 : Congrats! You got it!
Example:
n = 10, I pick 6.
Return 6.
Solution
# The guess API is already defined for you.
# @param num, your guess
# @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
# def guess(num):
class Solution(object):
def guessNumber(self, n):

low, high = 1, n
while low < high:
mid = (low + high) // 2
if guess(mid) == 1:
low = mid + 1
else:
high = mid
return low
