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