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
  • -231 <= matrix[i][j] <= 231 - 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?

SOLUTION:

class Solution:
    def setZeroes(self, matrix: List[List[int]]) -> None:
        m = len(matrix)
        n = len(matrix[0])
        rows = set()
        cols = set()
        for i in range(m):
            for j in range(n):
                if matrix[i][j] == 0:
                    rows.add(i)
                    cols.add(j)
        for i in range(m):
            for j in range(n):
                if i in rows or j in cols:
                    matrix[i][j] = 0
