Comments
In the past, I solved this problem when I was learning to program using the brute force method. This time, I wanted to optimize it for performance while maintaining a reasonable standard of readability.

Analysis
Time complexity: $O(r * c)$
Space complexity: $O(1)$, not counting initial data
