Kth Smallest Number in M Sorted Lists

Explore how to determine the kth smallest number from multiple sorted lists by applying the K-way merge technique. Understand problem constraints, handle duplicates as unique elements, and implement efficient solutions in a C# coding environment.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given a list, lists, containing mm sorted lists of integers in ascending order, and an integer k, find the kthk^{th} smallest element among all the lists.

Even if some values appear multiple times across the lists, each ...
