Matrix Block Sum — LeetCode 1314 Python Solution

The problem

Given a m x n matrix mat and an integer k, return a matrix answer where each answer[i][j] is the sum of all elements mat[r][c] for: i - k <= r <= i + k, j - k <= c <= j + k, and (r, c) is a valid position in the matrix.

Example

Input

mat = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]], k = 1

Output

[[12,21,16],[27,45,33],[24,39,28]]

                    s[x2 + 1][y2 + 1] - s[x1][y2 + 1] - s[x2 + 1][y1] + s[x1][y1]
