Given a positive integer n, find the pivot integer x such that:
- The sum of all elements between 1 and x inclusively equals the sum of all elements between x and n inclusively.
Return the pivot integer x. If no such integer exists, return -1. It is guaranteed that there will be at most one pivot index for the given input.
Solution
class Solution {
public int pivotInteger(int n) {
if(n==1) return 1;
for (int i = n - 1; i > 0; i--) {
if (((n * (n + 1)) / 2) - ((i * (i - 1)) / 2) == (i * (i + 1)) / 2)
return i;
}
return -1;
}
}
