Check if a matrix can be converted to another by repeatedly adding any value to X consecutive elements in a row or column

Given two matrices A[][] and B[][] of size M × N and an integer X, the task is to check if it is possible to convert matrix A[][] to matrix B[][] by adding any value to X consecutive cells in the same row or same column any number of times (possibly zero).

Examples:

Input: A[][] = { {0, 0}, {0, 0}}, B[][] = {{1, 2}, {0, 1}}, X = 2
Output: Yes
Explanation:
Operation 1: Adding 1 to A[0][0] and A[0][1] modifies A[][] to {{1, 1}, {0, 0}}.
Operation 2: Adding 1 to A[0][1] and A[1][1] modifies A[][] to {{1, 2}, {0, 1}}.
After performing this two operations, matrix A[][] and B[][] are equal.

Input: A= {{0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0}}, B = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}}, X = 4
Output: False

 

Approach: The problem can be solved greedily by performing all the horizontal operations followed by the vertical operations. 
Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Traverse the matrix to perform horizontal operations, using variables i and j over the ranges [0, M – 1] and [0, N – X], and perform the following operations:
    • If A[i][j] is not equal to B[i][j], increment next X elements in the same row by A[i][j] – B[i][j].
  • Now, traverse the matrix to perform vertical operations, using variables i and j over the ranges [0, M – X] and [0, N – 1] and perform the following operations:
    • Check if A[i][j] is equal to B[i][j] or not.
    • If found to be false, increment next X elements in the same column by A[i][j] – B[i][j].
  • Print “True” if matrices A[][] and B[][] are equal. Otherwise, print “False”.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ Program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check whether Matrix A[][]
// can be transformed to Matrix B[][] or not
bool Check(int A[][2], int B[][2],
           int M, int N, int X)
{
    // Traverse the matrix to perform
    // horizontal operations
    for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j <= N - X; j++) {
 
            if (A[i][j] != B[i][j]) {
 
                // Calculate difference
                int diff = B[i][j] - A[i][j];
 
                for (int k = 0; k < X; k++) {
 
                    // Update next X elements
                    A[i][j + k] = A[i][j + k] + diff;
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Traverse the matrix to perform
    // vertical operations
    for (int i = 0; i <= M - X; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
 
            if (A[i][j] != B[i][j]) {
 
                // Calculate difference
                int diff = B[i][j] - A[i][j];
                for (int k = 0; k < X; k++) {
 
                    // Update next K elements
                    A[i + k][j] = A[i + k][j] + diff;
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
    for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
 
            // A[i][j] is not equal to B[i][j]
            if (A[i][j] != B[i][j]) {
 
                // Conversion is not possible
                return 0;
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Conversion is possible
    return 1;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Input
    int M = 2, N = 2, X = 2;
    int A[2][2] = { { 0, 0 }, { 0, 0 } };
    int B[2][2] = { { 1, 2 }, { 0, 1 } };
 
    if (Check(A, B, M, N, X)) {
        cout << "Yes" << endl;
    }
    else {
        cout << "No" << endl;
    }
 
    return 0;
}
