Closes #6332

This pull request fixes a bug in the RowColumnWiseSorted2dArrayBinarySearch.java file where the column pointer was incorrectly initialized.

The Problem:
The column pointer (colPointer) was being initialized with matrix.length - 1. However, matrix.length returns the number of rows, not columns. This causes the algorithm to start at an incorrect position and fail for any matrix that is not square.

The Solution:
I have corrected the initialization to int colPointer = matrix[0].length - 1;. This correctly uses the length of the first row to determine the number of columns, ensuring the pointer is set to the last column's index as intended by the algorithm's logic.

I thought it didn't pass a CI check, Infer.
If it doesn't matter, then I'll switch to Ready for review
