0994. Rotting Oranges

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

Description

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.
