# Program to find number of square submatrices with 1 in python

PythonServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

Suppose we have a 2D binary matrix, we have to find the total number of square submatrices with all 1 s are there.

So, if the input is like

 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1

then the output will be 17 as there are 12 (1 x 1) squares, 4 (2 x 2) squares and 1 (3 x 3) square.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• res := 0
• for i in range 0 to row count of matrix, do
• for j in range 0 to column count of matrix, do
• if i is same as 0 or j is same as 0, then
• res := res + matrix[i, j]
• otherwise when matrix[i, j] is same as 1, then
• matrix[i, j] = minimum of (matrix[i, j - 1], matrix[i - 1, j] and matrix[i - 1, j - 1]) + 1
• res := res + matrix[i, j]
• return res

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

## Example

Live Demo

class Solution:
def solve(self, matrix):
res = 0
for i in range(len(matrix)):
for j in range(len(matrix[0])):
if i == 0 or j == 0:
res += matrix[i][j]
elif matrix[i][j] == 1:
matrix[i][j] = min(matrix[i][j - 1], matrix[i - 1][j], matrix[i - 1][j - 1]) + 1
res += matrix[i][j]
return res

ob = Solution()
matrix = [
[1, 1, 1, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0],
[1, 0, 1, 1]
]
print(ob.solve(matrix))

## Input

matrix = [
[1, 1, 1, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 0],
[1, 1, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0],
[1, 0, 1, 1]
]

## Output

17
