Unique cells in a binary matrix

Given a matrix of size n × m consisting of 0’s and 1’s. We need to find the number of unique cells with value 1 such that the corresponding entire row and the entire column do not have another 1. Return the number of unique cells.

Examples:

Input : mat[][] = {0, 1, 0, 0
                   0, 0, 1, 0
                   1, 0, 0, 1}
Answer : 2
The two 1s that are unique
in their rows and columns
are highlighted.

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

Method 1- Brute Force Approach:

In this approach, we are going to check for each cell with value 1 whether the corresponding rows satisfy our requirement. We will check in the corresponding rows and columns of each cell with the value 1.

Implementation:

C++

// C++ program to count unique cells in
// a matrix
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
const int MAX = 100;

// Returns true if mat[i][j] is unique
bool isUnique(int mat[][MAX], int i, int j,
                              int n, int m)
{
    // checking in row calculating sumrow
    // will be moving  column wise
    int sumrow = 0;
    for (int k = 0; k < m; k++) {
        sumrow += mat[i][k];
        if (sumrow > 1)
           return false;
    }

    // checking in column calculating sumcol
    // will be moving  row wise
    int sumcol = 0;
    for (int k = 0; k < n; k++) {
        sumcol += mat[k][j];
        if (sumcol > 1)
            return false;
    }

    return true;
}

int countUnique(int mat[][MAX], int n, int m)
{
    int uniquecount = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < m; j++)
            if (mat[i][j] &&
             isUnique(mat, i, j, n, m))
                    uniquecount++;
    return uniquecount;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int mat[][MAX] = {{0, 1, 0, 0},
                   {0, 0, 1, 0},
                   {1, 0, 0, 1}};
    cout << countUnique(mat, 3, 4);
    return 0;
}

Time Complexity: O((n*m)*(n+m)) 
Auxiliary Space: O(1), since no extra space has been taken.

This goes to the order of cubic due to check condition for every corresponding row and column

Method 2- O(n*m) Approach: 

In this approach, we are going to use extra space for rowsum array and colsum array and then check for each cell with value 1 whether the corresponding rowsum array and colsum array values are 1. 

Implementation:

C++

// Efficient C++ program to count unique
// cells in a binary matrix
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

const int MAX = 100;

int countUnique(int mat[][MAX], int n, int m)
{
    int rowsum[n], colsum[m];
    memset(colsum, 0, sizeof(colsum));
    memset(rowsum, 0, sizeof(rowsum));

    // Count number of 1s in each row
    // and in each column
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < m; j++)
            if (mat[i][j])
            {
                rowsum[i]++;
                colsum[j]++;
            }

    // Using above count arrays, find
    // cells

                rowsum[i] == 1 &&
