题目描述:
Given a n x n matrix where each of the rows and columns are sorted in ascending order, find the kth smallest element in the matrix.
Note that it is the kth smallest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.
Example:
matrix = [
[ 1, 5, 9],
[10, 11, 13],
[12, 13, 15]],
k = 8,return 13.
Note:
You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ n^2.
给定一个矩阵,每一行和每一列都是有序的,找出矩阵中第k小的数。由于矩阵是部分有序的,可以采用二分搜索,确定上下界之后就可以确定中间元素,然后,用中间元素在矩阵中搜索,判断它是第几小的元素,这样就可以确定下一步搜索的范围了。
class Solution {
public:
int kthSmallest(vector<vector<int>>& matrix, int k) {
int m=matrix.size();
int n=matrix[0].size();
int begin=matrix[0][0];
int end=matrix[m-1][n-1];
while(begin<end)
{
int mid=(begin+end)/2;
int count=0;
for(int i=0;i<m;i++)
count+=upper_bound(matrix[i].begin(),matrix[i].end(),mid)-matrix[i].begin();
if(count<k) begin=mid+1;
else if(count>=k) end=mid;
}
return begin;
}
};
