@MAC ur solution is wrong 1 9 24 2 12 33 3 16 49
search for 3 O(logn) solution let the matrix be A[][] and number to be searched is x divide the array from middle in 4 parts lets say it four quadrants now check if x>A[n/2][n/2] search in bottom right quadrant if x<A[n/2][n/2] search in other 3 quadrants On Sat, Dec 25, 2010 at 8:25 AM, yq Zhang <zhangyunq...@gmail.com> wrote: > Suppose you have a matrix n*m. each column and row of the matrix is > already sorted.
