@jalaj: oops! i'm sorry but by diameter i meant diagonal! binary search on the diagonal 0 4 10 14 the result is 4<9<10 so the matrix that ends with 4: 0 1 2 4 and the matrix that starts with 10: 10 11 13 14 can't have 9 in them so we continue the search in 3 7 5 8 and 6 9 8 12
applying the search on 3 7 5 8 we see that 8<9 which is the biggest element of the matrix so this can't have 9 in it and the search in 6 9 8 12 yields that 6<9<12 so the result would be in 8 or 9 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
