Guess Number Higher or Lower

We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:

I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.

Every time you guess wrong, I'll tell you whether the number is higher or lower.

You call a pre-defined API guess(int num) which returns 3 possible results (-1, 1, or 0):

-1 : My number is lower
 1 : My number is higher
 0 : Congrats! You got it!

Example:

n = 10, I pick 6.
Return 6.
# The guess API is already defined for you.
# @param num, your guess
# @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
# def guess(num):

class Solution(object):
    def guessNumber(self, n):
        """
        :type n: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        lo, hi = 1, n
        while lo < hi:
            mid = (lo + hi) / 2
            g = guess(mid)
            if g == 1:
                lo = mid + 1
            elif g == -1:
                hi = mid
            else:
                return mid
        return lo

Note: 凡是Binary Search的循环,low都要是middle + 1
