Maximum Non Negative Product in a Matrix

Medium

You receive a m x n matrix grid . Initially, you are located at the top-left corner (0, 0) , and in each step, you can only move right or down in the matrix.

Among all possible paths starting from the top-left corner (0, 0) and ending in the bottom-right corner (m - 1, n - 1) , determine the path with the maximum non-negative product . The product of a path is the product of all integers in the grid cells visited along the path.

Produce the maximum non-negative product modulo 10^9+ 7 . If the maximum product is negative , return -1 .

Notice that the modulo is performed after getting the maximum product.

Example 1

Original illustrative diagram 1 for Maximum Non Negative Product in a Matrix

Input: grid = [[-1,-2,-3],[-2,-3,-3],[-3,-3,-2]]

Output: -1

Explanation: It is not possible to get non-negative product in the path from (0, 0) to (2, 2), so return -1.

Example 2

Original illustrative diagram 2 for Maximum Non Negative Product in a Matrix

Input: grid = [[1,-2,1],[1,-2,1],[3,-4,1]]

Output: 8

Explanation: Maximum non-negative product is shown (1 * 1 * -2 * -4 * 1 = 8).

Example 3

Original illustrative diagram 3 for Maximum Non Negative Product in a Matrix

Input: grid = [[1,3],[0,-4]]

Output: 0

Explanation: Maximum non-negative product is shown (1 * 0 * -4 = 0).

Constraints

  • m == grid.length
  • n == grid[i].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 15
  • -4 <= grid[i][j] <= 4
