Given a 2D matrix which is both row wise and column wise sorted. Propose an
algorithm for finding the kth smallest element in it in least time
complexity
A General Max Heap can be used with k space and n+klogk complexity
Any other solution or even a way by which we dont scan the whole matrix to
im assuming it be a square matrix
then kth smallest element will be in a first k*k sub matrix.
jst look for smallest element in the diagonal of this matrix.
it will give the kth smallest element .
