Delete Greatest Value in Each Row
You are given an m x n matrix grid consisting of positive integers.
You are given an m x n matrix grid consisting of positive integers.
Perform the following operation until grid becomes empty:
Note that the number of columns decreases by one after each operation.
Return the answer after performing the operations described above.
Example 1
Input: grid = [[1,2,4],[3,3,1]]
Output: 8
Explanation: The diagram above shows the removed values in each step. - In the first operation, we remove 4 from the first row and 3 from the second row (notice that, there are two cells with value 3 and we can remove any of them). We add 4 to the answer. - In the second operation, we remove 2 from the first row and 3 from the second row. We add 3 to the answer. - In the third operation, we remove 1 from the first row and 1 from the second row. We add 1 to the answer. The final answer = 4 + 3 + 1 = 8.
Example 2
Input: grid = [[10]]
Output: 10
Explanation: The diagram above shows the removed values in each step. - In the first operation, we remove 10 from the first row. We add 10 to the answer. The final answer = 10.
Constraints
- m == grid.length
- n == grid[i].length
- 1 <= m, n <= 50
- 1 <= grid[i][j] <= 100
