先来看个实例

#!/usr/bin/env python import sys def search2(a,m): low = 0 high = len(a) - 1 while(low <= high): mid = (low + high)/2 midval = a[mid] if midval < m: low = mid + 1 elif midval > m: high = mid - 1 else: print mid return mid print -1 return -1 if __name__ == "__main__": a = [int(i) for i in list(sys.argv[1])] m = int(sys.argv[2]) search2(a,m)

运行:

administrator@ubuntu:~/Python$ python test_search2.py 123456789 4

注:

1.'__'：由于python的类成员都是公有、公开的被存取public，缺少像正统面向对象语言的私有private属性。
于是就用__来将就一下，模拟私有属性。这些__属性往往是内部使用，通常情况下不用改写。也不用读取。
加上2个下划线的目的，一是不和普通公有属性重名冲突，二是不让对象的使用者(非开发者)随意使用。
2.__name__ == "__main__"表示程序脚本是直接被执行的.
如果不等于表示脚本是被其他程序用import引入的.则其__name__属性被设为模块名

Python采用二分查找找出数字的下标

要考虑有重复数字的情况

class Solution(object): def searchRange(self, nums, target): """ :type nums: List[int] :type target: int :rtype: List[int] """ def binary_search(start,end,value): while end>=start: mid = (start+end)//2 print(mid) if nums[mid]>target: end = mid-1 elif nums[mid]<target: start = mid+1 else: if value==-1: if mid-1>=start and nums[mid+value] == target: end = mid+value else: return mid else: if mid+1<=end and nums[mid+value] == target: start = mid+value else: return mid return -1 a=binary_search(0,len(nums)-1,-1) b=binary_search(0,len(nums)-1,1) return [a,b]a = Solution()l = [2,2]print(a.searchRange(l,2))

二分算法的定义不在多说了，百度一下就知道（支持国产大笑）

import sys source = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] #must be in order des = int(sys.argv[1]) low = 0 high = len(source) - 1 targetIndex = -1 print "des=",des while low <= high: middle = (low + high)/2 if des == source[middle]: targetIndex = middle break elif des < source[middle]: high = middle -1 print "middle element[index=",middle,",value=",source[middle],"] is bigger than des, continue search from[",low,"to",high,"]" else: low = middle + 1 print "middle element[index=",middle,",value=",source[middle],"] is smaller than des, continue search from[",low,"to",high,"]" print "search complete, target element's index in source list is ",targetIndex

最后在分享一个

'fileName--BinarySearch.py' src = [] def BinarySearch(low, high, target, *src): '二分查找' while low <= high: mid = (low + high) // 2 midVal = src[mid] if target < midVal: high = mid - 1 elif target > midVal: low = mid + 1 else: return mid BinarySearch(low, high, target, *src) print('Please input 10 number:') for number in range(10): src.append(int(input('Num %d:' % number))) sortList = tuple(src) key = int(input('Please input key:')) location = BinarySearch(0, len(src) - 1, key, *sortList) if location != None: print('Find target at %d' % (location + 1)) else: print('No target!')
