Given an upper triangular matrix M[][] of dimensions N * N, the task is to convert it into an one-dimensional array storing only non-zero elements from the matrix.
Examples:
Input: M[][] = {{1, 2, 3, 4}, {0, 5, 6, 7}, {0, 0, 8, 9}, {0, 0, 0, 10}}
Output: Row-wise: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Column-wise: {1, 2, 5, 3, 6, 8, 4, 7, 9, 10}
Explanation: All the non-zero elements of the matrix are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}Input: M[][] = {{1, 2, 3, }, {0, 4, 5}, {0, 0, 6}}
Output: Row-wise: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Column-wise: {1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6}
Explanation: All the non-zero elements of the matrix are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Approach: To convert given 2-dimensional matrix to a 1-dimensional array, following two methods are used:
Row – Major Order:
- In this method, elements are stored such that consecutive elements of a row are placed consecutively in the array.
- The following formula is used to find the correct position of non-zero matrix elements in the array:
Element present at index (i, j) in the matrix is placed at [N * (i – 1) – (i – 2) * (i -1) /2] + (j – i)
where 1 ≤ i, j ≤ N and i ≤ j
Column-Major Order:
- In this method, elements are stored such that consecutive elements of a column are placed consecutively in the array.
- The following formula is used to find out the correct position of non-zero matrix elements:
Element present at index (i, j) in the matrix is placed at [j * (j – 1) / 2] + i – 1
where 1 ≤ i, j ≤ N and i ≤ j.
Follow the steps below to solve the problem:
- Initialize an array A[] to store non-zero matrix elements.
- Traverse the matrix M[][].
- Find the correct indices of non-zero matrix elements in the array A[] using the above formulas.
- Place the non-zero elements at the correct indices of A[] accordingly.
- Finally, print the array A[] obtained.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
