leetcode 378. Kth Smallest Element in a Sorted Matrix

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:

matrix = [
[ 1,  5,  9],
[10, 11, 13],
[12, 13, 15]
],
k = 8,

return 13.

Note:

You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ n2.

from heapq import heappush, heappop

class MinQ(object):
def __init__(self):
self.h = []

def push(self, value):
heappush(self.h, value)

def pop(self):
return heappop(self.h)

class Solution(object):
def kthSmallest(self, matrix, k):
"""
:type matrix: List[List[int]]
:type k: int
:rtype: int
"""
assert matrix
rows_cnt = len(matrix)
min_q = MinQ()
for j,c in enumerate(matrix[0]):
min_q.push([c, 0, j])
n = 1
val = None
while n <= k:
val = min_q.pop()
i,j = val[1]+1, val[2]
if i < rows_cnt:
min_q.push([matrix[i][j], i, j])
n += 1
return val[0]

骚年，牢记最小堆的实现！
