HSBCAdobeCIS - Cyber Infrastructure

You have been given a 2-D array 'mat' of size 'M x N' where 'M' and 'N' denote the number of rows and columns, respectively. The elements of each row are sorted in non-decreasing order.


Moreover, the first element of a row is greater than the last element of the previous row (if it exists).


You are given an integer ‘target’, and your task is to find if it exists in the given 'mat' or not.


Example:
Input: ‘M’ = 3, 'N' = 4, ‘mat’ = [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10, 11, 12]], ‘target’ = 8

Output: true

Explanation: The output should be true as '8' exists in the matrix.

Ninja has been given two sorted integer arrays/lists ‘ARR1’ and ‘ARR2’ of size ‘M’ and ‘N’. Ninja has to merge these sorted arrays/lists into ‘ARR1’ as one sorted array. You may have to assume that ‘ARR1’ has a size equal to ‘M’ + ‘N’ such that ‘ARR1’ has enough space to add all the elements of ‘ARR2’ in ‘ARR1’.

For example:

‘ARR1’ = [3 6 9 0 0]
‘ARR2’ = [4 10]
After merging the ‘ARR1’ and ‘ARR2’ in ‘ARR1’. 
‘ARR1’ = [3 4 6 9 10]
