A virus is spreading rapidly, and your task is to quarantine the infected area by installing walls.
The world is modeled as a 2-D array of cells, where 0 represents uninfected cells, and 1 represents cells contaminated with the virus. A wall (and only one wall) can be installed between any two 4-directionally adjacent cells, on the shared boundary.
Every night, the virus spreads to all neighboring cells in all four directions unless blocked by a wall.
Resources are limited. Each day, you can install walls around only one region -- the affected area (continuous block of infected cells) that threatens the most uninfected cells the following night. There will never be a tie.
Can you save the day? If so, what is the number of walls required? If not, and the world becomes fully infected, return the number of walls used.
Example 1:
Input: grid = [[0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1], [0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1], [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1], [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]] Output: 10 Explanation: There are 2 contaminated regions. On the first day, add 5 walls to quarantine the viral region on the left. The board after the virus spreads is: [[0,1,0,0,0,0,1,1], [0,1,0,0,0,0,1,1], [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1], [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1]] On the second day, add 5 walls to quarantine the viral region on the right. The virus is fully contained.
Example 2:
Input: grid = [[1,1,1], [1,0,1], [1,1,1]] Output: 4 Explanation: Even though there is only one cell saved, there are 4 walls built. Notice that walls are only built on the shared boundary of two different cells.
Example 3:
Input: grid = [[1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0], [1,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]] Output: 13 Explanation: The region on the left only builds two new walls.
Note:
- The number of rows and columns of
gridwill each be in the range[1, 50]. - Each
grid[i][j]will be either0or1. - Throughout the described process, there is always a contiguous viral region that will infect strictly more uncontaminated squares in the next round.
