The problem
You are given an n * m 0-indexed grid of string land. Right now, you are standing at the cell that contains "S", and you want to get to the cell containing "D".
Example
- Input
- land = [["D",".","*"],[".",".","."],[".","S","."]]
- Output
- 3
- Explanation
- The picture below shows the simulation of the land second by second. The blue cells are flooded, and the gray cells are stone.
Python solution
class Solution:
def minimumSeconds(self, land: List[List[str]]) -> int:
m, n = len(land), len(land[0])
vis = [[False] * n for _ in range(m)]
g = [[inf] * n for _ in range(m)]
q = deque()
si = sj = 0
for i, row in enumerate(land):
for j, c in enumerate(row):
match c:
case "*":
q.append((i, j))
case "S":
si, sj = i, j
dirs = (-1, 0, 1, 0, -1)
t = 0
while q:
for _ in range(len(q)):
i, j = q.popleft()
g[i][j] = t
for a, b in pairwise(dirs):
x, y = i + a, j + b
if (
0 <= x < m
and 0 <= y < n
and not vis[x][y]
and land[x][y] in ".S"
):
vis[x][y] = True
q.append((x, y))
t += 1
t = 0
q = deque([(si, sj)])
vis = [[False] * n for _ in range(m)]
vis[si][sj] = True
while q:
for _ in range(len(q)):
i, j = q.popleft()
if land[i][j] == "D":
return t
for a, b in pairwise(dirs):
x, y = i + a, j + b
if (
0 <= x < m
and 0 <= y < n
and g[x][y] > t + 1
and not vis[x][y]
and land[x][y] in ".D"
):
vis[x][y] = True
q.append((x, y))
t += 1
