Interview Prompt

A data cleaning pipeline processes sensor matrices where a zero value indicates a faulty cell that corrupts its entire row and column. Write a function that takes a matrix and sets the entire row and column of any zero element to zero. Modify in-place and return the matrix.

  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
