easy
15 min
Explore how to find lucky numbers in a matrix by understanding the criteria of being the smallest in their row and largest in their column. This lesson helps you apply graph-based reasoning and matrix analysis to solve the problem efficiently.

Statement

Given an m×nm \times n matrix of distinct numbers, return the lucky number in the matrix.

lucky number is an element of the matrix such that it is the smallest element in its row and largest in its column.

Constraints:

  • m=m = matrix.length

  • n=n = matrix[i].length

  • 1n1 \leq n, m50m \leq 50

  • 11 \leq matrix[i][j] 105\leq 10^5

  • All elements in the matrix are distinct.
