Question 6

In this article, we will discuss about Coding Question with their solution in  java. This is a simple matrix based question in which we have to add the largest row sum and the largest column sum from an m*n matrix to help devilliers for finding his lucky number for the final match jersey.

Question 6

Question 6

An astrologer gives a matrix to devilliers and tells him to add a largest row sum and largest column sum of the given matrix.The number which appears as a result is his lucky number for the final match jersey.

Write a program that adds up the largest row sum and the largest column sum from an N- rows*M-columns array of numbers to help devilliers for finding his lucky number for the final match jersey.

As a preliminary phrase , you should reformat the sequence of numbers as a matrix, whose number of rows and columns are to be specified as arguments.

Input Specification:

  • Input 1: Integer for row dimension of the array
  • Input 2: Integer for column dimension of the array
  • Input 3: Array elements to be entered in row major.

Output Specifications:

  • Largest row sum+ Largest column sum

Example 1:
Input1:4
Input2: 4
Input3: {1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4}

Output: 26

Explanation:
The array has 4 rows (input1) and 4 columns (input2). The largest sum among the four columns is 10 and the largest sum among the four rows is 16. We get the final sum of 26 (10+16).

Example 2:
Input1:2
Input2: 2
Input3: {1,2,5,6}

Output: 19

Explanation:

The array has 2 rows (input1) and 2 columns (input2). The elements in the first row are 1 and 2 and the elements in the second row are 5 and 6 (input3). The largest sum among the two columns is 8(2+6) By adding those two up. We get the final sum of 19 (11+8).

Example 3:
Input1: 3
Input2: 3
Input3: {3,6,9,1,4,7,2,8,9}

        int sum = 0;
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++)
    	{
            sum = sum + Matrix[j][i];
        }
        if (Column < sum)
    	{
            Column = sum;
        }
    }
