Given the matrix a, return the index r of the row with the most nonzero elements. Assume there will always be exactly one row that matches this criterion.

Example:

 Input  a = [ 1 2 0 0 0
              0 0 5 0 0 
              2 7 0 0 0
              0 6 9 3 3 ]
 Output r is 4

Could you please check my solution.
How come the solution example 2, 3 and 4 have r= 3, 5 and 4. When it should have been r = 4, 3 and 1.
As these are the maximum number of zeros in any of the given row.

Can someone please give me a hint on how the solutions are provided so different?
