73. Set Matrix Zeroes

Given a _m_ x _n_ matrix, if an element is 0, set its entire row and column to 0. Do it in-place.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
Input:
[
[1,1,1],
[1,0,1],
[1,1,1]
]
Output:
[
[1,0,1],
[0,0,0],
[1,0,1]
]

Example 2:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
Input:
[
[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]
]

Follow up:

  • A straight forward 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?
