Replace NaNs with the number that appears to its left in the row.

If there are more than one consecutive NaNs, they should all be replaced by the first non-NaN value to the immediate left of the left-most NaN. If the NaN is in the first column, default to zero.

For example, if

x = [NaN  1   2  NaN NaN 17  3  -4 NaN]

then

y = [ 0   1   2   2   2  17  3  -4  -4]

The problem does not limit the array to a single row. Add a few cases of multiple rows or define as single row.
