Java Program to Find the Row with Maximum Number of 1s

This is the Java Program to Find the Row with the Maximum Number of 1’s in a Sorted Matrix.

Problem Description

Given a boolean matrix of 0’s and 1’s, where each row is sorted, print the row first with the maximum number of 1’s.
Example:
Matrix:
0 0 1 1
0 0 1 1
0 1 1 1
0 0 1 1

Output:
0 1 1 1

Problem Solution

Iterate through the first row to find the index of the leftmost one in it. For each of the next row, if the element at the index before the leftmost one is zero, then skip that row, otherwise update the index for leftmost one.

Program/Source Code

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Find the Row with the Maximum Number of 1’s in a Sorted Matrix. The program is successfully compiled and tested using IDE IntelliJ Idea in Windows 7. The program output is also shown below.

Program Explanation

1. In function printRow(), the loop for (i = 0; i < matrix[0].length; i++), iterates through the first row and finds the index of the leftmost one.
2. If there is no one in the first row, then the variable leftmost is set equal to the number of columns.
3. The loop for (i = 1; i < matrix[0].length; i++) traverses through the remaining rows.
4. The variable x is set to leftmost-1 and the nested loop while (x >= 0 && matrix[i][x] == 1) is used to find the index of the leftmost 1 in the current row.
5. Finally, the row with maximum number of 1’s is displayed.

Time Complexity: O(n+m) where n is the number of rows and m is the number of columns in the matrix respectively.
