Leetcode Solutions

Binary Search on Columns

  1. Initialize left and right pointers to the first and last column indices respectively.
  2. Perform a binary search: a. Calculate the mid column. b. Find the maximum element in the mid column and its corresponding row index. c. Check if the maximum element is a peak:
    • If it is greater than its left and right neighbors (or does not have them), return its position.
    • If the left neighbor is greater, move the right pointer to mid - 1.
    • If the right neighbor is greater, move the left pointer to mid + 1.
  3. Repeat steps 2a to 2c until the left pointer is less than or equal to the right pointer.
  4. Return the position of the peak element found.
