Problem 112. Remove the air bubbles
Given a matrix a, return a matrix b in which all the zeros have "bubbled" to the top. That is, any zeros in a given column should be moved to the top. The order of the remaining nonzero numbers in the column should be preserved.
Example 1
Input a = [ 1 2 3
0 4 5
6 0 0 ] Output b is [ 0 0 0
1 2 3
6 4 5 ]Example 2
Input a = [ 1 0 5 0 6 0 7 ]' Output b is [ 0 0 0 1 5 6 7 ]'

Input a = [ 1 0
1 1 ]
Output b is [ 1 0
