73. Set Matrix Zeroes

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;
		}
	    }
	}
    }
};
