when you are talking abt starting from 1 that means that array is 1 based , right ? Right. 111 000 000 Up-left element: 1 Choice 3: 0 (number of 0's on the first row) + 1 (number of 1's on the first column) = 1 Choice 4: 3 (number of 1's on the first row) + 2 (number of 0's on the first

when you are talking abt starting from 1 that means that array is 1 based , right ? and how did you get the steps calculated. please can you explain, once more take this example, a trivial but albeit will help me explain. 111 000 000 and 011 100 100 if it is feasible for you to reply . On Dec

As Amir pointed out: convert the first row and first column to all zeros In details: 1. choose operations on first row and first column to make up-left element 0. * There are 2 cases, 2 choices for each case: 1. If the up-left element is 0, then

@Prims Can you please elaborate the problem in detail... What do you mean by toggling row and column... 1 Interchanging a row with some column ? 2 Changing 0s to 1s and 1s to 0s of that row ? or Some thing else ? In both options mentioned above .. no of 1s present in a matrix can not be

Hello Rajan Suppose we have the following matrix 1 1 0 0 If a toggle operation performed on first row, it will change all 1s to 0s and 0s to 1s which result in the followig matrix 0 0 0 0 It is zero matrix and the result. Similarly if a toggle operation is performed on column, it will change
