Hi, as I understood the question goes like this (I also face this problem earlier)... * Given an array of 0s and 1s (whether the array can contain any other element apart from 0 and 1 is not mentioned in the question posted, but to make it hard people say that the array cannot hold element other then 0 and 1, basically a bit array ). You need to change the given array such that each row and column that have a 0 initially should have all 0s in it.* * e.g.* * 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1* * 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0* * 1 1 1 1 ====> 1 0 1 1* * 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1*
