Given two n * m matrices A[][] and B[][], the task is to make both the matrices strictly increasing (both rows and columns) only by swapping two elements in different matrices if they are located in the corresponding position i.e. A[i][j] can only be swapped with B[i][j]. If possible then print Yes otherwise, No.
Examples: 

Input: 
A[][] = {{2, 10},      B[][] = {{9, 4},  
         {11, 5}}               {3, 12}}
Output: Yes
Swap 2 with 9 and 5 with 12 then the resulting 
matrices will be strictly increasing.

Input: 
A[][] = {{1, 3},       B[][] = {{3, 1}, 
         {2, 4},                {3, 6}, 
         {5, 10}}               {4, 8}}
Output: No

Approach: We can solve this problem using greedy technique. Swap A[i][j] with B[i][j] if A[i][j] > B[i][j]. At the end for every i and j we have A[i][j] ? B[i][j]
If the resultant matrices are strictly increasing then print Yes otherwise, print No.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check whether the matrices
// can be made strictly increasing
// with the given operation
string Check(int a[][2], int b[][2], int n, int m)
{
 
    // Swap only when a[i][j] > b[i][j]
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < m; j++)
            if (a[i][j] > b[i][j])
                swap(a[i][j], b[i][j]);
 
    // Check if rows are strictly increasing
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < m - 1; j++)
            if(a[i][j] >= a[i][j + 1] || b[i][j] >= b[i][j + 1])
                return "No";
 
    // Check if columns are strictly increasing
    for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < m ;j++)
            if (a[i][j] >= a[i + 1][j] || b[i][j] >= b[i + 1][j])
                return "No";
 
    return "Yes";
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 2, m = 2;
    int a[][2] = {{2, 10}, {11, 5}};
    int b[][2] = {{9, 4}, {3, 12}};
    cout << (Check(a, b,n,m));
}

    let a = [[ 2, 10 ], [ 11, 5 ]];
    let b = [[ 9, 4 ],  [3, 12 ]];
      
    document.write(Check(a, b, n, m));
      
</script>


Output: 

Yes

 

Time Complexity: O(N*M), as we are traversing over the matrix.

Auxiliary Space: O(1), as we are not using any extra space.
