"""
smallest_range function takes a list of sorted integer lists and finds the smallest
range that includes at least one number from each list, using a min heap for efficiency.

def smallest_range(nums: list[list[int]]) -> list[int]:
    """
    Find the smallest range from each list in nums.

    Uses min heap for efficiency. The range includes at least one number from each list.

    Args:
        `nums`: List of k sorted integer lists.

    Returns:
        list: Smallest range as a two-element list.

    Examples:

    >>> smallest_range([[4, 10, 15, 24, 26], [0, 9, 12, 20], [5, 18, 22, 30]])
    [20, 24]
    >>> smallest_range([[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]])
    [1, 1]
    >>> smallest_range(((1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3)))
    [1, 1]
    >>> smallest_range(((-3, -2, -1), (0, 0, 0), (1, 2, 3)))
    [-1, 1]
    >>> smallest_range([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]])
    [3, 7]
    >>> smallest_range([[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]])
    [0, 0]
    >>> smallest_range([[], [], []])
