81. Search in Rotated Sorted Array II

Suppose an array sorted in ascending order is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.

(i.e., [0,0,1,2,2,5,6] might become [2,5,6,0,0,1,2]).

You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return true, otherwise return false.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2], target = 0
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2], target = 3
Output: false

Follow up:

This is a follow up problem to Search in Rotated Sorted Array, where nums may contain duplicates.
Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why?

难度：medium

题目：假设一个按升序 排序 的数组在某个未知的轴上旋转。搜索给定目标值，如果找到返回true，否则返回false。

思路：二叉搜索。

分4种情况。

case 1：从头到尾升序。
case 2：从头到尾降序。
case 3：升序的元素多，降序少。
case 4：升序的元素少，降序多。
