Problem Statement

Given a 2D grid of size m x n matrix containing integers, and integer target, return true if target value exists in the matrix. Otherwise, return false.

The matrix has the following properties:

  • Values in each column are sorted in non-decreasing order from top to bottom.
  • Values in each row are sorted in non-decreasing order from left to right.

Examples

Example 1:

  • Input: target = 5, matrix =
[[1,2,3],
 [4,5,6],
 [7,8,9]]
  • Expected Output: true
  • Justification: The number 5 is located in the second row and second column of the matrix, thus the output is true.

Example 2:

  • Input: target = 19, matrix =
[[10,11,12,13],
 [11,12,13,17],
 [14,19,22,24],
 [22,23,24,25]]
  • Expected Output: true
  • Justification: 19 is present in the third row and second column, confirming its presence in the matrix.

Example 3:

  • Input: target = 6, matrix =
[[1,3,5],
 [7,9,11],
 [13,15,17]]
  • Expected Output: false
  • Justification: 6 does not appear anywhere in the matrix, so the function should return false.
