The problem

You are given a 0-indexed 1-dimensional (1D) integer array original, and two integers, m and n. You are tasked with creating a 2-dimensional (2D) array with m rows and n columns using all the elements from original.

Example

Input
original = [1,2,3,4], m = 2, n = 2
Output
[[1,2],[3,4]]
Explanation
The constructed 2D array should contain 2 rows and 2 columns.

Python solution

class Solution:
    def construct2DArray(self, original: List[int], m: int, n: int) -> List[List[int]]:
        if m * n != len(original):
            return []
        return [original[i : i + n] for i in range(0, m * n, n)]

Complexity

Time
O(m × n)where m and n are the number of rows and columns of the two-dimensional array, respectively
Space · auxiliary
O(1)
