https://leetcode.com/problems/rotting-oranges/

Problem Statement:


In a given grid, each cell can have one of three values:

the value 0 representing an empty cell; the value 1 representing a fresh orange; the value 2 representing a rotten orange. Every minute, any fresh orange that is adjacent (4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

Return the minimum number of minutes that must elapse until no cell has a fresh orange. If this is impossible, return -1 instead.

Examples


1:


Input: [[2,1,1],[1,1,0],[0,1,1]]
Output: 4

2:


Input: [[2,1,1],[0,1,1],[1,0,1]]
Output: -1
Explanation:  The orange in the bottom left corner (row 2, column 0) is never rotten, because rotting only happens 4-directionally.

3:


Input: [[0,2]]
Output: 0
Explanation:  Since there are already no fresh oranges at minute 0, the answer is just 0.

Idea:


Solution:



class Solution {
public:
    int orangesRotting(vector<vector<int>>& grid) {
        
    }
};
