Practice Problem

Search a 2D Matrix

Difficulty: Medium

Write an efficient algorithm to search for a target value in an m x n matrix where each row is sorted and the first integer of each row is greater than the last integer of the previous row.

Search a 2D Matrix

You are given an m x n integer matrix matrix with the following two properties:

  • Each row is sorted in non-decreasing order.
  • The first integer of each row is greater than the last integer of the previous row.

Given an integer target, return true if target is in matrix or false otherwise.

You must write a solution with O(log(m * n)) time complexity.

Examples

Example 1:

Input: matrix = [[1,3,5,7],[10,11,16,20],[23,30,34,60]], target = 3
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: matrix = [[1,3,5,7],[10,11,16,20],[23,30,34,60]], target = 13
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: matrix = [[1]], target = 1
Output: true

Constraints

  • m == matrix.length
  • n == matrix[i].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 100
  • -10^4 <= matrix[i][j], target <= 10^4

Expected Complexity

  • Time: O(log(m * n))
  • Space: O(1)
