Yes, thats right. I think we can do the following also : Lets us assume rows are sorted in increasing order.
start from first row say i. Traverse the array from the end of the row towards the beginning till 0 occurs say at position j. now proceed to the next row i+1, check the value at i+1,j if it is 0, go to next row i+2,j else if its 1, then go to left till 0 occurs and store that index of 0 and follow to the next row. In the worst case, it will be O(n^2), but in general its a good approach i guess. what do u say guys ? Average Case O(m+n) ?
