Problem 792. Set some matrix elements to zero
First get the maximum of each row, and afterwards set all the other elements to zero. For example, this matrix:
1 2 3 4 5 5 6 5 7 9 8 3
should become:
0 0 0 4 0 0 6 0 0 9 0 0
Input will never be empty.
If a row has the same maximum in different columns , display the first occurrence:
In the below example, the second row has twice the number 8 as maximum , the output will display the first 8 (column2) :
x =
5 4 5 2 8 8
should become :
5 0 0 0 8 0
