    Description
    Discussion

    Welcome to the daily solving of our PROBLEM OF THE DAY with Saurabh Bansal We will discuss the entire problem step-by-step and work towards developing an optimized solution. This will not only help you brush up on your concepts of Arrays but also build up problem-solving skills.

    Given a boolean 2D array, consisting of only 1's and 0's, where each row is sorted. Return the 0-based index of the first row that has the most number of 1s. If no such row exists, return -1.

    Examples:

    Input: arr[][] = [[0, 1, 1, 1],
                             [0, 0, 1, 1],
                             [1, 1, 1, 1],
                             [0, 0, 0, 0]]
    Output: 2
    Explanation: Row 2 contains 4 1's (0-based indexing).

    Give the problem a try before going through the video. All the best!!!
