1 Description #
source: https://leetcode.com/problems/set-matrix-zeroes/
Given an m x n
integer matrix matrix
, if an element is 0
, set its entire row and column to 0
’s.
You must do it in place.
Example 1:

Input: matrix = [[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[1,1,1]]
Output: [[1,0,1],[0,0,0],[1,0,1]]
Example 2:

Input: matrix = [[0,1,2,0],[3,4,5,2],[1,3,1,5]]
Output: [[0,0,0,0],[0,4,5,0],[0,3,1,0]]
Constraints:
m == matrix.length
n == matrix[0].length
1 <= m, n <= 200
-2^31 <= matrix[i][j] <= 2^31 - 1
Follow up:
- A straightforward solution using
O(mn)
space is probably a bad idea. - A simple improvement uses
O(m + n)
space, but still not the best solution. - Could you devise a constant space solution?
2 Solution #
#include <unordered_set>
class Solution {
public:
void setZeroes(vector<vector<int>>& matrix) {
// Space complexity: O(m + n)
// Time complexity: O(2 * m *n ) => O(m * n)
int m = matrix.size();
int n = matrix[0].size();
std::unordered_set<int> rows;
std::unordered_set<int> cols;
for(int i = 0; i<m;i ++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
if(matrix[i][j] == 0){
rows.insert(i);
cols.insert(j);
}
}
}
for(int i = 0; i<m;i ++){
for(int j = 0; j < n; j++){
if(cols.count(j) != 0 || rows.count(i) != 0){
matrix[i][j] = 0;
}
}
}
}
};
