Find if a binary matrix exists with given row and column sums

Given an array Row[] of size R where Row[i] is the sum of elements of the ith row and another array Column[] of size C where Column[i] is the sum of elements of the ith column. The task is to check if it is possible to construct a binary matrix of R * C dimension which satisfies given row sums and column sums. A binary matrix is a matrix which is filled with only 0’s and 1’s.
Sum means the number of 1’s in particular row or column.

Examples:

Input: Row[] = {2, 2, 2, 2, 2}, Column[] = {5, 5, 0, 0}
Output: YES
Matrix is
{1, 1, 0, 0}
{1, 1, 0, 0}
{1, 1, 0, 0}
{1, 1, 0, 0}
{1, 1, 0, 0}

Input: Row[] = {0, 0, 3} Column[] = {3, 0, 0}
Output: NO

Approach:

  1. Key idea is that any cell in the matrix will contribute equally to both row and column sum, so sum of all the row sums must be equal to column sums.
  2. Now, find the maximum of row sums, if this value is greater than the number of non zero column sums than matrix does not exist.
  3. If the maximum of column sums is greater than the number of non zero row sums than matrix is not possible to construct.
  4. If all the above 3 conditions is satisfied than matrix exists.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

    int column_sum = 0;
    int row_max = -1;
    int column_max = -1;
    int row_non_zero = 0;
    int column_non_zero = 0;
  
    // Store sum of rowsums, max of row sum
    // number of non zero row sums
    for (int i = 0; i < r; i++) {
        row_sum += row[i];
        row_max = max(row_max, row[i]);
        if (row[i])
            row_non_zero++;
    }
  
    // Store sum of column sums, max of column sum
    // number of non zero column sums
    for (int i = 0; i < c; i++) {
        column_sum += column[i];
        column_max = max(column_max, column[i]);
        if (column[i])
            column_non_zero++;
    }
  
    // Check condition 1, 2, 3
    if ((row_sum != column_sum) ||
        (row_max > column_non_zero) ||
        (column_max > row_non_zero))
        return false;

    int column[] = { 5, 5, 0, 0 };

    int c = sizeof(column) / sizeof(column[0]);
