In doing leetcode two points to find the type of topic write while conditions are always worried about the wrong, and indeed several times are to get wrong answer after the correct. In the search for a range, although was accepted, but see the online analysis of other students is not a special understanding, and finally determined to study the most classic binary search algorithm, to find out why the while conditions in different circumstances of the wording is not the same. Luckily, I soon found a great summary of the blog:

After reading the implementation of their own, the implementation process of the while conditions under different circumstances why not the same understanding of the more profound.
The implementation of the three binary search methods to solve the following problems, respectively:
1) Find the subscript in the array where target appears, there is no return-1
2) Find the subscript position in the array for the first occurrence of the target, if there is no return-1
3) Find the last subscript position of the target in the array, if there is no return-1
PS: Arrays in ascending order, may have duplicate elements
