Search a 2D Matrix II
Problem statement
Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value target in an m x n integer matrix 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.
Example 1:

Input: 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]], target = 5Output: true
Example 2:

Input: 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]], target = 20Output: false
Constraints:
m == matrix.lengthn == matrix[i].length1 <= n, m <= 300-109 <= matrix[i][j] <= 109- All the integers in each row are sorted in ascending order.
- All the integers in each column are sorted in ascending order.
-109 <= target <= 109
My solution
/**
* @param {number[][]} matrix
* @param {number} target
* @return {boolean}
*/
var searchMatrix = function(matrix, target) {
if (matrix.length === 0) {
return false;
}
for (let i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
const row = matrix[i];
if (row.length > 0 && row[0] <= target && row[row.length - 1] >= target) {
if (search(row, target)) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
};
function search(arr, target) {
let left = 0;
let right = arr.length;
while (left < right) {
const mid = Math.floor((right + left) / 2);
const curr = arr[mid]
if (curr === target) {
return true
} else {
if (arr[mid] < target) {
left = mid + 1
} else {
right = mid
}
}
}
return false;
}
