3033. Modify the Matrix
Description
Given a 0-indexed m x n integer matrix matrix, create a new 0-indexed matrix called answer. Make answer equal to matrix, then replace each element with the value -1 with the maximum element in its respective column.
Return the matrix answer.
Example 1:

Input: matrix = [[1,2,-1],[4,-1,6],[7,8,9]] Output: [[1,2,9],[4,8,6],[7,8,9]] Explanation: The diagram above shows the elements that are changed (in blue). - We replace the value in the cell [1][1] with the maximum value in the column 1, that is 8. - We replace the value in the cell [0][2] with the maximum value in the column 2, that is 9.
Example 2:

Input: matrix = [[3,-1],[5,2]] Output: [[3,2],[5,2]] Explanation: The diagram above shows the elements that are changed (in blue).
Constraints:
m == matrix.lengthn == matrix[i].length2 <= m, n <= 50-1 <= matrix[i][j] <= 100- The input is generated such that each column contains at least one non-negative integer.
Solutions
Solution 1: Simulation
We can follow the problem description, traverse each column, find the maximum value of each column, and then traverse each column again, replacing the elements with a value of -1 with the maximum value of that column.
The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, where $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the matrix, respectively. The space complexity is $O(1)$.
