# Saddle Points
Detect saddle points in a matrix.
So say you have a matrix like so:
```plain
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 code in this exercise, you will only need to have [CommandBox CLI installed](https://ortus.gitbooks.io/commandbox-documentation/content/setup/installation.html). This binary runs CFML code from the command line.
To run the tests, `cd` into the exercise folder and run the following:
```bash
box task run TestRunner
# Or start up a test watcher that will rerun when files change
box task run TestRunner --:watcher
```
The tests leverage a library called TestBox which supports xUnit and BDD style of testing. All test suites will be written in the [BDD style](https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/content/primers/bdd/specs.html) which uses closures to define test specs. You won't need to worry about installing TestBox. The CLI test runner will take care of that for you. You just need to be connected to the internet the first time you run it. You can read more about it here:
