Search a 2D Matrix

Problem

https://leetcode.com/problems/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 in O(log(m * n)) time complexity.

Example 1:

image1

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

Example 2:

image2

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

Constraints:

  • m == matrix.length

  • n == matrix[i].length

  • 1 <= m, n <= 100

  • -10:sup:`4`<= matrix[i][j], target <= 10:sup:`4`

Pattern

Array, Binary Search, Matrix

Approaches

Code

def searchMatrix(matrix: list[list[int]], target: int) -> bool:
    m = len(matrix)
    n = len(matrix[0])

    left = 0
    right = m * n - 1
    while left <= right:
        mid = (left + right) // 2

        rows = mid // n
        cols = mid % n

        if matrix[rows][cols] == target:
            return True
        elif matrix[rows][cols] > target:
            right = mid - 1
        else:
            left = mid + 1

    return False

Test

>>> from search_a_2d_matrix__binary_search import searchMatrix
>>> searchMatrix([[1,3,5,7],[10,11,16,20],[23,30,34,60]], 3)
True
>>> searchMatrix([[1,3,5,7],[10,11,16,20],[23,30,34,60]], 13)
False
