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 from left to right.
- The first integer of each row is greater than the last integer of the previous row.
For example,
Consider the following matrix:
[ [1, 3, 5, 7], [10, 11, 16, 20], [23, 30, 34, 50] ]
Given target = 3
, return true
.
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;
bool searchMatrix(vector<vector<int> > &matrix, int target) {
if (matrix.empty())
return false;
int length = matrix[0].size();
int first = 0;
int last = matrix.size()*length-1;
while (first<=last)
{
int mid = (first + last) / 2;
if (matrix[mid / length][mid%length] == target)
return true;
else if (matrix[mid / length][mid%length] < target)
first = mid + 1;
else
last = mid - 1;
}
return false;
}
