Solution: Count Negative Numbers in a Sorted Matrix

Explore how to efficiently count negative numbers in a sorted matrix by leveraging its non-increasing order properties. Understand and implement an optimized algorithm with O(m+n) time complexity to solve matrix traversal problems without extra space.

Statement

Given a matrix grid of size m  nm \ * \ n, where each row and column is sorted in non-increasing order, find and return the total count of negative numbers in the matrix.

Constraints:

  • mm ==== grid.length

  • nn ...
