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
.
class Solution {
public:
bool searchMatrix(vector<vector<int>>& matrix, int target) {
int row = 0;
int col = matrix[0].size() - 1;
while (row < matrix.size() && col > -1) {
if (matrix[row][col] == target) {
return true;
}
else if (matrix[row][col] < target) {
row++;
}
else
col--;
}
return false;
}
};
