Notation O (NM) or (N ^ 2)
I was told that below code = O (MN), however I came up with O (N ^ 2). What's the correct answer and why?
My thought process is: (O (N ^ 2) + O (1)) + (O (N ^ 2) + O (1)) = O (N ^ 2)
thank
public static void zeroOut(int[][] matrix) {
int[] row = new int[matrix.length];
int[] column = new int[matrix[0].length];
// Store the row and column index with value 0
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[0].length;j++) {
if (matrix[i][j] == 0)
{
row[i] = 1;
column[j] = 1;
}
}
}
// Set arr[i][j] to 0 if either row i or column j has a 0
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[0].length; j++)
{
if ((row[i] == 1 || column[j] == 1)){
matrix[i][j] = 0;
}
}
}
}
