Set Matrix Zeros Interviewbit Solution


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]   ]
