1253. Reconstruct a 2-Row Binary Matrix (Medium)

Given the following details of a matrix with n columns and 2 rows :

• The matrix is a binary matrix, which means each element in the matrix can be 0 or 1.
• The sum of elements of the 0-th(upper) row is given as upper.
• The sum of elements of the 1-st(lower) row is given as lower.
• The sum of elements in the i-th column(0-indexed) is colsum[i], where colsum is given as an integer array with length n.

Your task is to reconstruct the matrix with upper, lower and colsum.

Return it as a 2-D integer array.

If there are more than one valid solution, any of them will be accepted.

If no valid solution exists, return an empty 2-D array.

 

Example 1:

Input: upper = 2, lower = 1, colsum = [1,1,1]
Output: [[1,1,0],[0,0,1]]
Explanation: [[1,0,1],[0,1,0]], and [[0,1,1],[1,0,0]] are also correct answers.

Example 2:

Input: upper = 2, lower = 3, colsum = [2,2,1,1]
Output: []

Example 3:

Input: upper = 5, lower = 5, colsum = [2,1,2,0,1,0,1,2,0,1]
Output: [[1,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0],[1,0,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,1]]

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= colsum.length <= 10^5
• 0 <= upper, lower <= colsum.length
• 0 <= colsum[i] <= 2

Hints

Hint 1

You cannot do anything about colsum[i] = 2 case or colsum[i] = 0 case. Then you put colsum[i] = 1 case to the upper row until upper has reached. Then put the rest into lower row.

Hint 2

Fill 0 and 2 first, then fill 1 in the upper row or lower row in turn but be careful about exhausting permitted 1s in each row.
