* @brief Implementation of [Saddleback Algorithm](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/saddleback-search-algorithm-in-a-2d-array) for 2D arrays.
*
* @details
* Saddleback Algorithm is an algorithm that searches 2D array in linear time,
* i.e, O(m + n), where m is number of rows and n is number of columns of 2D array. Also, each row and
* column of the matrix should be sorted beforehand for this algorithm to work.
