Question : Find the minimum element in the rotated sorted array.
So for example we have sorted array as -
Solution
This can be solved in linear time and logarithmic time. If we notice the above array, we see the array has been rotated 2 times, which is also the index of smallest element in the array.
So, we need to find the point of inflection where we find a point such that a[i]>a[i+1].
So, finding the minimum element in the rotated sorted array has been implemented here - Find the minimum element in rotated sorted array. Thanks.
So for example we have sorted array as -
2,3,6,12, 15, 18.Now suppose the array is rotated k times ( we don't know k), such that array becomes
15, 18,2,3,6,12
