Interview Prompt

Given a 2D integer matrix, zero-out every row and every column that originally contains at least one 0. Return the resulting matrix (the test harness accepts a returned matrix; in-place modification is fine too).

Summary

One zero can change the whole picture.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
