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.

Yes
Example
Consider the following matrix:
[
[1, 3, 5, 7],
[10, 11, 16, 20],
[23, 30, 34, 50]
]
分析:这道题就是最基本的二分法,唯一的变化就是需要把原有的mid 拆分成横坐标和纵坐标
int midX = mid/n; int midY = mid%n;(n为二维矩阵的column的length)
public class Solution {
/**
* @param matrix, a list of lists of integers
* @param target, an integer
* @return a boolean, indicate whether matrix contains target
*/
public boolean searchMatrix(int[][] matrix, int target) {
// write your code here
if(matrix == null || matrix.length == 0 || matrix[0].length == 0){
return false;
}
int begin = 0;
int m = matrix.length;
int n = matrix[0].length;
int end = m*n -1;
while(begin + 1 < end){
int mid = begin + (end - begin)/2;
int midX = mid/n;
int midY = mid%n;
if(matrix[midX][midY]==target)
return true;
if(matrix[midX][midY]<target){
begin=mid;
}else{
end=mid;
}
}
if(matrix[begin/n][begin%n]==target || matrix[end/n][end%n]==target){
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
