Check if it is possible to make the given matrix increasing matrix or not

Given a matrix of N X M of positive integers, the task is to find out whether it is possible to make the matrix increasing or not. Print the matrix constructed otherwise print -1. Matrix elements should be greater than zero.

A matrix is said to be increasing matrix if:

• For each row, the elements are in the increasing order.
• For each column, the elements are in the increasing order.

Examples:

Input : N = 4, M = 4 
1 2 2 3 
1 -1 7 -1 
6 -1 -1 -1 
-1 -1 -1 -1 
Output :
1 2 2 3 
1 2 7 7 
6 6 7 7 
6 6 7 7 
As we can see that this is the increasing matrix.

Input : N = 2, M = 3 
1 4 -1 
1 -1 3 
Output : -1 
Here, in the first row, we have to put something greater than 4 to make it increasing sequence. But, after this, the 3rd column will never be in increasing order. So, it is impossible to make it increasing matrix. 

Note: There can be more than one solution for a matrix.

Approach: Let dp[i][j] denote the element at row i and column j of matrix dp. Since the matrix is non-decreasing, the following two conditions should be held:  

• dp[i][j] >= dp[i][j-1], in row i elements are non-decreasing.
• dp[i][j] >= dp[i-1][j], in column j elements are non-decreasing.

This implies that dp[i][j] >= dp[r] for every 1 <= r <= i, 1 <= c <= j (one element is greater than all the elements that are up to the left).

Let i be the first row of dp that contains a -1 and in this row let j be the column of the leftmost -1. It is always convenient to replace dp[i][j] with the minimum 

possible value, otherwise, it may be impossible to find a valid value for another -1 that is down to the right. So one possible solution (and the lexicographically smallest) is to set dp[i][j] = max { dp[i][j-1], dp[i-1][j] }.

After filling some of the unknown positions in dp, it may turn out that one of the values of dp is smaller than some of the elements that are up to the left. In this case, there is no solution.
