Description#
You are given two integers m
and n
representing a 0-indexed m x n
grid. You are also given two 2D integer arrays guards
and walls
where guards[i] = [rowi, coli]
and walls[j] = [rowj, colj]
represent the positions of the ith
guard and jth
wall respectively.
A guard can see every cell in the four cardinal directions (north, east, south, or west) starting from their position unless obstructed by a wall or another guard. A cell is guarded if there is at least one guard that can see it.
Return the number of unoccupied cells that are not guarded.
Example 1:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/2257.Count%20Unguarded%20Cells%20in%20the%20Grid/images/example1drawio2.png)
Input: m = 4, n = 6, guards = [[0,0],[1,1],[2,3]], walls = [[0,1],[2,2],[1,4]]
Output: 7
Explanation: The guarded and unguarded cells are shown in red and green respectively in the above diagram.
There are a total of 7 unguarded cells, so we return 7.
Example 2:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/2257.Count%20Unguarded%20Cells%20in%20the%20Grid/images/example2drawio.png)
Input: m = 3, n = 3, guards = [[1,1]], walls = [[0,1],[1,0],[2,1],[1,2]]
Output: 4
Explanation: The unguarded cells are shown in green in the above diagram.
There are a total of 4 unguarded cells, so we return 4.
Constraints:
1 <= m, n <= 105
2 <= m * n <= 105
1 <= guards.length, walls.length <= 5 * 104
2 <= guards.length + walls.length <= m * n
guards[i].length == walls[j].length == 2
0 <= rowi, rowj < m
0 <= coli, colj < n
- All the positions in
guards
and walls
are unique.
Solutions#
Solution 1: Simulation#
We create a two-dimensional array $g$ of size $m \times n$, where $g[i][j]$ represents the cell in row $i$ and column $j$. Initially, the value of $g[i][j]$ is $0$, indicating that the cell is not guarded.
Then, we traverse all guards and walls, and set the value of $g[i][j]$ to $2$, indicating that these positions cannot be accessed.
Next, we traverse all guard positions, simulate in four directions from that position until we encounter a wall or guard, or go out of bounds. During the simulation, we set the value of the encountered cell to $1$, indicating that the cell is guarded.
Finally, we traverse $g$ and count the number of cells with a value of $0$, which is the answer.
The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, and the space complexity is $O(m \times n)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns in the grid, respectively.
