Saddle Points

Write a program that detects saddle points in a matrix.

So say you have a matrix like so:

    0  1  2
  |---------
0 | 9  8  7
1 | 5  3  2     <--- saddle point at (1,0)
2 | 6  6  7

It has a saddle point at (1, 0).

It's called a "saddle point" because it is greater than or equal to every element in its row and the less than or equal to every element in its column.

A matrix may have zero or more saddle points.

Your code should be able to provide the (possibly empty) list of all the saddle points for any given matrix.

Note that you may find other definitions of matrix saddle points online, but the tests for this exercise follow the above unambiguous definition.

To run the tests simply run the command go test in the exercise directory.

If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the -bench flag:

go test -bench .

For more detailed info about the Go track see the help page.
