1277. Count Square Submatrices with All Ones

Similar Question: LeetCode Question 221

Question:

Given a m * n matrix of ones and zeros, return how many square submatrices have all ones.

Example 1:

Input: matrix =
[
  [0,1,1,1],
  [1,1,1,1],
  [0,1,1,1]
]
Output: 15
Explanation: 
There are 10 squares of side 1.
There are 4 squares of side 2.
There is  1 square of side 3.
Total number of squares = 10 + 4 + 1 = 15.

Example 2:

Input: matrix = 
[
  [1,0,1],
  [1,1,0],
  [1,1,0]
]
Output: 7
Explanation: 
There are 6 squares of side 1.  
There is 1 square of side 2. 
Total number of squares = 6 + 1 = 7.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 300
  • 1 <= arr[0].length <= 300
  • 0 <= arr[i][j] <= 1

Solution:

Similar to LeetCode Question 221, we use dp to solve the problem. The difference is that we change from max to a counter.

class Solution {
    public int countSquares(int[][] matrix) {
        int counter = 0;

            
        for(int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) {
                if (matrix[i][j] == 1) {
                    if ((i == 0 || j == 0)) {
                        matrix[i][j] = 1;
                    } else {
                        matrix[i][j] = 1 + Math.min(Math.min(matrix[i][j-1], matrix[i-1][j]), matrix[i-1][j-1]);
                    }
                    counter += matrix[i][j];
                }
                
            }
        }
        
        return counter;
    }
}
