1582. Special Positions in a Binary Matrix
Description
Given an m x n
binary matrix mat
, return the number of special positions in mat
.
A position (i, j)
is called special if mat[i][j] == 1
and all other elements in row i
and column j
are 0
(rows and columns are 0-indexed).
Example 1:
Input: mat = [[1,0,0],[0,0,1],[1,0,0]] Output: 1 Explanation: (1, 2) is a special position because mat[1][2] == 1 and all other elements in row 1 and column 2 are 0.
Example 2:
Input: mat = [[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]] Output: 3 Explanation: (0, 0), (1, 1) and (2, 2) are special positions.
Constraints:
m == mat.length
n == mat[i].length
1 <= m, n <= 100
mat[i][j]
is either0
or1
.
Solutions
Solution 1: Counting
We can use two arrays, $\textit{rows}$ and $\textit{cols}$, to record the number of $1$s in each row and each column, respectively.
Then, we traverse the matrix. For each $1$, we check whether there is only one $1$ in its row and column. If so, we increment the answer by one.
After the traversal, we return the answer.
The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, and the space complexity is $O(m + n)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the matrix $\textit{mat}$, respectively.
