Search in Rotated Sorted Array II

Follow up for "Search in Rotated Sorted Array": What if duplicates are allowed?

Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why?

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

(i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2).

Write a function to determine if a given target is in the array.

The array may contain duplicates.

Solution

public class Solution {
     public boolean search(int[] A, int target) {
        for(int i = 0; i < A.length; i ++) {
            if (A[i] == target) {
                return true;
            }
        }

        return false;
    }
}
