1582. Special Positions in a Binary Matrix

Difficulty: Easy

Related Topics: Array

Given a rows x cols matrix mat, where mat[i][j] is either 0 or 1, 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. 

Example 3:

Input: mat = [[0,0,0,1],
              [1,0,0,0],
              [0,1,1,0],
              [0,0,0,0]]
Output: 2

Example 4:

Input: mat = [[0,0,0,0,0],
              [1,0,0,0,0],
              [0,1,0,0,0],
              [0,0,1,0,0],
              [0,0,0,1,1]]
Output: 3

Constraints:

• rows == mat.length
• cols == mat[i].length
• 1 <= rows, cols <= 100
• mat[i][j] is 0 or 1.

    def numSpecial(self, mat: List[List[int]]) -> int:
        row=set()
        for r in range(len(mat)):
            if sum(mat[r])==1:
                row.add(r)
        
        rep=0
        for c in range(len(mat[0])):
            tmp=[]
            for r in range(len(mat)):
                if mat[r][c]==1:
                    tmp.append(r)
            if len(tmp)==1 and tmp[0] in row:
                rep+=1    
        return rep
