Solution: Build a Matrix with Conditions
Explore how to build a k by k matrix by applying topological sorting to row and column constraints. Learn to detect conflicting dependencies and position elements correctly to meet given conditions, enabling you to solve matrix construction problems with ordering rules effectively.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given a positive integer
A 2D integer array
row_conditionsof size, where row_conditions[i] = [above[i], below[i]]. This indicates thatabove[i]must appear in a row abovebelow[i]in the final matrix.A 2D integer array
col_conditionsof size, where col_conditions[i] = [left[i], right[i]]. This indicates thatleft[i]must appear in a column to the left ofright[i]in the final matrix.
Both arrays contain integers ranging from
