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 in ascending from left to right.
- Integers in each column are sorted in ascending from top to bottom.
For example,
Consider the following matrix:
[ [1, 4, 7, 11, 15], [2, 5, 8, 12, 19], [3, 6, 9, 16, 22], [10, 13, 14, 17, 24], [18, 21, 23, 26, 30] ]
Given target = 5
, return true
.
Given target = 20
, return false
.
思路: 从右上角或者左下角开始,偏大向左上走,偏小往右下走。证明方法是假设法。
public class Solution {
public boolean searchMatrix(int[][] matrix, int target) {
if(0 == matrix.length || 0 == matrix[0].length) return false;
int i=matrix.length-1, j=0, cols=matrix[0].length;
while(i >=0 && j < cols) {
int v = matrix[i][j];
if(v == target) return true;
if(v < target) {
++j;
} else {
--i;
}
}
return false;
}
}
