Search a 2D Matrix II

Write an efficient algorithm that searches for a value in an m x n matrix. This matrix has the following properties:
  • Integers in each row are sorted in ascending from left to right.
  • Integers in each column are sorted in ascending from top to bottom.
For example,
Consider the following matrix:
[
  [1,   4,  7, 11, 15],
  [2,   5,  8, 12, 19],
  [3,   6,  9, 16, 22],
  [10, 13, 14, 17, 24],
  [18, 21, 23, 26, 30]
]
Given target = 5, return true.
Given target = 20, return false.


 bool searchMatrix(int** matrix, int matrixRowSize, int matrixColSize, int target) {  
 //start with the top right element and move along rows and columns based on target value   
   int i = 0, j = matrixColSize - 1;  
   while(i < matrixRowSize && j >= 0){  
     if(matrix[i][j] == target){  
       return true;  
     }else if(target < matrix[i][j]){  
       j--;  
     }else{  
       i++;  
     }  
   }  
   return false;  
 }
