Kth Smallest Element in a Sorted Matrix
Desicription
Given a n x n matrix where each of the rows and columns are sorted in ascending order, find the kth smallest element in the matrix.
Note that it is the kth smallest element in the sorted order, not the kth distinct element.
Example:
代码语言:javascript复制matrix = [
[ 1, 5, 9],
[10, 11, 13],
[12, 13, 15]
],
k = 8,
return 13.
Note:
You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ n^2.
Solution
代码语言:javascript复制class Solution {
public:
int kthSmallest(std::vector<std::vector<int>>& matrix, int k) {
auto nums = std::vector<int>();
for(auto& rows : matrix) {
for(auto& num : rows) {
nums.push_back(num);
}
}
std::sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
return nums[k - 1];
}
};
