Search a 2D Matrix

题目：

Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value in an m x n matrix. This matrix has the following properties:

• Integers in each row are sorted from left to right.
• The first integer of each row is greater than the last integer of the previous row.

For example,

Consider the following matrix:

[
  [1,   3,  5,  7],
  [10, 11, 16, 20],
  [23, 30, 34, 50]
]

Given target = 3, return true.

解题思路：利用两次二分查找法。因为所给矩阵第一列也是升序排列的，所以可以先对第一列进行二分查找，锁定该元素所在行数，然后再对列进行二分查找，即可判断target是否存在。这个的算法时间复杂度是O(log(rows)+log(columns))。
