You are given an integer 'N' denoting the size of a 'N' * 'N' matrix. Initially, each cell of the matrix is empty. You are also given an integer 'K' denoting the number of tasks. In each task, you are given two integers ('I','J') where 'I' represents the ith row, and 'J' represents the jth column of the matrix.

You have to perform each task in the given order. For each task, you have to place 0 in each cell of ith row and jth column. After completing all the tasks, you have to return an array of size 'K' where the nth element of the array is the number of empty cells in the matrix after the nth task.

For example: Consider an empty matrix of size 'N'*'N' where 'N' = 3. 

[[ 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL'] 
 [ 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL']
 [ 'NULL', 'NULL', 'NULL']]

Suppose the value of 'K' is 2, which means we have to perform 2 tasks. 

Task 1: (0, 0)
Matrix after placing 0 in each cell of 0th row and 0th column:
[[0, 0, 0] 
[ 0, 'NULL', 'NULL']
[ 0, 'NULL', 'NULL']]

The number of empty cells now: 4

Task 2: (1,0)
Matrix after placing 0 in each cell of 1st row and 0th column:
[[0, 0, 0] 
[ 0, 0, 0]
[ 0, 'NULL', 'NULL']]

The number of empty cells now: 2

Return the array [4,2]

Note:

1. We call a cell empty only if it does not contain any value.
2. Indexing is 0-based.
