Find row with maximum sum in a Matrix

Given an N*N matrix. The task is to find the index of a row with the maximum sum. That is the row whose sum of elements is maximum.

Examples



Input : mat[][] = {
            { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 },
            { 5, 3, 1, 4, 2 },
            { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 },
            { 0, 6, 3, 4, 12 },
            { 9, 7, 12, 4, 3 },
            }; 

Output : Row 3 has max sum 35



Input : mat[][] = { 
          { 1, 2, 3 },
          { 4, 2, 1 },
          { 5, 6, 7 },
          };
Output : Row 3 has max sum 18

The idea is to traverse the matrix row-wise and find the sum of elements in each row and check for every row if current sum is greater than the maximum sum obtained till the current row and update the maximum_sum accordingly. 

Algorithm:

Pseudocode:

1. N ? number of rows and columns in the matrix
2. function colMaxSum(mat[N][N])
3.     idx ? -1
4.     maxSum ? INT_MIN
5.     for i from 0 to N-1
6.         sum ? 0
7.         for j from 0 to N-1
8.             sum ? sum + mat[i][j]
9.         if sum > maxSum
10.            maxSum ? sum
11.            idx ? i
12.    return pair(idx, maxSum)
13. end function

Below is the implementation of the above approach:




// C++ program to find row with
// max sum in a matrix
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
#define N 5 // No of rows and column
 
// Function to find the row with max sum
pair<int, int> colMaxSum(int mat[N][N])
{
    // Variable to store index of row
    // with maximum
    int idx = -1;
 
    // Variable to store max sum
    int maxSum = INT_MIN;
 
    // Traverse matrix row wise
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        int sum = 0;
 
        // calculate sum of row
        for (int j = 0; j < N; j++) {
            sum += mat[i][j];
        }
 
        // Update maxSum if it is less than
        // current sum
        if (sum > maxSum) {
            maxSum = sum;
 
            // store index
            idx = i;
        }
    }
 
    pair<int, int> res;
 
    res = make_pair(idx, maxSum);
 
    // return result
    return res;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    int mat[N][N] = {
        { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 },  { 5, 3, 1, 4, 2 },
        { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 },  { 0, 6, 3, 4, 12 },
        { 9, 7, 12, 4, 3 },
    };
 
    pair<int, int> ans = colMaxSum(mat);
 
    cout << "Row " << ans.first + 1 << " has max sum "
         << ans.second;
 
    return 0;
}

Output
Row 3 has max sum 35

Time complexity: O(N2)
Auxiliary space: O(1)

Example in c:

Approach:

Initialize a variable max_sum to zero and a variable max_row to -1.

Traverse the matrix row by row:

a. Initialize a variable row_sum to zero.

b. Traverse the elements of the current row and add them to row_sum.

c. If row_sum is greater than max_sum, update max_sum to row_sum and max_row to the current row.

Return max_row.
