994. Rotting Oranges

Rotting Oranges - LeetCode

You are given an m x n grid where each cell can have one of three values:

0 representing an empty cell, 1 representing a fresh orange, or 2 representing a rotten orange.Every minute, any fresh orange that is 4-directionally adjacent 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.

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[2,1,1],[1,1,0],

[0,1,1]] Output: 4

Example 2: Input: grid = [[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.

Example 3: Input: grid = [[0,2]] Output: 0 Explanation: Since there are already no fresh oranges at minute 0, the answer is just 0.

Constraints:

m == grid.length n == grid[i].length 1 <= m, n <= 10 grid[i][j] is 0, 1, or 2.
