Question  Solution 

Given a m x n matrix, if an element is 0, set its entire row and column to 0. Do it in place.

Did you use extra space?
A straight forward solution using O(mn) space is probably a bad idea.
A simple improvement uses O(m + n) space, but still not the best solution.
Could you devise a constant space solution?

/*
Contant Space，考虑定义几个变量或者加以题目本身的空间
本体利用矩阵的第一行和第一列来作为辅助空间使用，记录该行和该列有必要set to 0
同时注意第一行和第一列本身是否要set to 0
1.确定第一行和第一列是否需要清零
 isFirstRowZero、isFirstColumnZero
2.扫描剩下的矩阵元素，如果遇到了0，就将对应的第一行和第一列上的元素赋值为0
 matrix[i][0] = 0;
 matrix[0][j] = 0;
3.根据第一行和第一列的信息，将该清0的清0
4.处理第一行和第一列
