Solution: Set Matrix Zeroes
Explore how to set entire rows and columns to zero in a matrix when any element is zero, using an in-place strategy that minimizes space usage. Understand the step-by-step algorithm to track zeroes via the matrix's first row and column and apply changes efficiently. This lesson helps you implement an optimized matrix transformation with linear time complexity and constant space complexity.
Statement
Given a matrix, mat, if any element within the matrix is zero, set that row and column to zero. The performed operations should be in place, i.e., the given matrix is modified directly without allocating another matrix.
