# 278.First Bad Version

**278.First Bad Version**

难度:Easy

> You are a product manager and currently leading a team to develop a new product. Unfortunately, the latest version of your product fails the quality check. Since each version is developed based on the previous version, all the versions after a bad version are also bad.

Suppose you have n versions \[1, 2, ..., n] and you want to find out the first bad one, which causes all the following ones to be bad.

You are given an API bool isBadVersion(version) which will return whether version is bad. Implement a function to find the first bad version. You should minimize the number of calls to the API.

```
Example:

Given n = 5, and version = 4 is the first bad version.

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

Then 4 is the first bad version. 
```

二分法？

```
// Forward declaration of isBadVersion API.
bool isBadVersion(int version);

class Solution {
    int firstBadVersion(int left, int right) {
        if(left +1== right) return isBadVersion(left) ?left:right;
        int mid=left+(right-left)/2 ;
     //   cout<<mid<<endl;
        return  isBadVersion(mid)? firstBadVersion(left,mid) : firstBadVersion(mid,right); 
    }
    public:
    int firstBadVersion(int n) {
        if(n==1) return 1;
        return firstBadVersion(1,n);

    }
};
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dfine.gitbook.io/leetcode/278.first_bad_version.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
