# 毎日一题 - 744. find smallest letter greater than target

## 信息卡片
* 时间:2019-06-17
* 题目链接:https://leetcode.com/problems/find-smallest-letter-greater-than-target/
* tag:`Array`

## 题目描述
```
Given a list of sorted characters letters containing only lowercase letters, and given a target letter target, find the smallest element in the list that is larger than the given target.
Letters also wrap around. For example, if the target is target = 'z' and letters = ['a', 'b'], the answer is 'a'.
Examples:
Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "a"
Output: "c"
Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "c"
Output: "f"
Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "d"
Output: "f"
Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "g"
Output: "j"
Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "j"
Output: "c"
Input:
letters = ["c", "f", "j"]
target = "k"
Output: "c"
Note:
letters has a length in range [2, 10000].
letters consists of lowercase letters, and contains at least 2 unique letters.
target is a lowercase letter.
```

## 思路
二分查找,提高速度
要求是查找某一个元素,又是在有序的集合中。
所以我们可以用二分查找
1. 排除两种情况;target 小于首元素|| target 大于等于尾元素 => 目标都是首元素
2. 当target>=letters[mid] 时(我们要的值一定在右边),调整左区间 min = mid+1;
3. 当target< letters[mid] 时,调整右区间 max = mid-1;
4. 循环终止条件是 min > max; 最终返回min位置元素

## 建议
在leetcode上找一个数组稍微长一点的测试用例,在纸上画出整个过程;对理解很有帮助

## 参考答案
```js
/**
* @param {character[]} letters
* @param {character} target
* @return {character}
*/
var nextGreatestLetter = function(letters, target) {
const length = letters.length
let min = 0;
let max = length - 1;
if(target >= letters[length-1] || target < letters[0]) return letters[0];
while(min <= max) {
const mid = (max+min) >> 1
if(target >= letters[mid]) {
min = mid + 1;
} else {
max = mid - 1;
}
}
return letters[min]
};
```
