Find an Element in 2 dimensional sorted array

Objective : Write an algorithm to find an Element in 2 dimensional array where rows and columns are sorted respectively.

Input: A two dimensional sorted array, arrA[][].

Output : True or false based on whether element exists and its location

Approach:

• Start from the right top corner, say ele is the matrix element;
• If ele>number -> move left
• If ele<number -> move down
• If you cant move further to find the number , return false
