Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value in an m x n matrix. This matrix has the following properties:
Integers in each row are sorted in ascending from left to right.
Integers in each column are sorted in ascending from top to bottom.
For example,
Consider the following matrix:
[
[1, 4, 7, 11, 15],
[2, 5, 8, 12, 19],
[3, 6, 9, 16, 22],
[10, 13, 14, 17, 24],
[18, 21, 23, 26, 30]
]
Given target = 5, return true.
Given target = 20, return false.
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param matrix: A list of lists of integers
* @param target: An integer you want to search in matrix
* @return: An integer indicate the total occurrence of target in the given matrix
*/
int searchMatrix(vector<vector<int> > &matrix, int target) {
// write your code here
if (matrix.size() == 0)
return 0;
int count = 0;
int rows = matrix.size();
int colums = matrix[0].size();
int curRowPos = 0;
int curColumPos = colums-1;
while (curRowPos < rows && curColumPos >= 0)
{
if (matrix[curRowPos][curColumPos] > target)
{
curColumPos--;
}
else if (matrix[curRowPos][curColumPos] < target)
{
curRowPos++;
}
else
{
count++;
curColumPos--;
}
}
return count;
}
};
