Updated: Sep 8, 2020

Problem: Set Matrix Zeros

Problem Description:

Given a matrix, A of size M x N of 0s and 1s. If an element is 0, set its entire row and column to 0.

Note: This will be evaluated on the extra memory used. Try to minimize the space and time complexity.

Input Format:

The first and the only argument of input contains a 2-d integer matrix, A, of size M x N.

Output Format:

Return a 2-d matrix that satisfies the given conditions.

Constraints:

1 <= N, M <= 1000
 
0 <= A[i][j] <= 1

Examples:

Input 1:
 
[ [1, 0, 1],
 
[1, 1, 1],
 
[1, 1, 1] ]
 

 
Output 1:
 
[ [0, 0, 0],
 
[1, 0, 1],
 
[1, 0, 1] ]

Input 2:
 
[ [1, 0, 1],
 
[1, 1, 1],
 
[1, 0, 1] ]
 

 
Output 2:
 
[ [0, 0, 0],
 
[1, 0, 1],
 
[0, 0, 0] ]

Solution:
