First Bad Version

Source

Problem

The code base version is an integer start from 1 to n. One day, someone committed a bad version in the code case, so it caused this version and the following versions are all failed in the unit tests. Find the first bad version.

You can call isBadVersion to help you determine which version is the first bad one. The details interface can be found in the code's annotation part.

Example

Given n = 5:

isBadVersion(3) -> false
isBadVersion(5) -> true
isBadVersion(4) -> true

Here we are 100% sure that the 4th version is the first bad version.

Note

Please read the annotation in code area to get the correct way to call isBadVersion in different language. For example, Java is VersionControl.isBadVersion(v)

Challenge

You should call isBadVersion as few as possible.

Python

#        # Run unit tests to check whether verison `id` is a bad version
#        # return true if unit tests passed else false.
# You can use VersionControl.isBadVersion(10) to check whether version 10 is a
# bad version.

源码分析

lower bound 的实现，这里稍微注意下lb 初始化为 0，因为 n 从1开始。ub 和 lb 分别都在什么条件下更新就好了。另外这里并未考虑 n <= 0 的情况。
