Given a row-sorted binary matrix binaryMatrix, return leftmost column index(0-indexed) with at least a 1
in it. If such index doesn't exist, return -1
.
You can’t access the Binary Matrix directly. You may only access the matrix using a BinaryMatrix
interface:
BinaryMatrix.get(x, y)
returns the element of the matrix at index(x, y)
(0-indexed).BinaryMatrix.dimensions()
returns a list of 2 elements[n, m]
, which means the matrix isn * m
.
Submissions making more than 1000
calls to BinaryMatrix.get
will be judged Wrong Answer. Also, any solutions that attempt to circumvent the judge will result in disqualification.
For custom testing purposes you’re given the binary matrix mat
as input in the following four examples. You will not have access the binary matrix directly.
