417. Pacific Atlantic Water Flow

417. Pacific Atlantic Water Flow

Description

There is an m x n rectangular island that borders both the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean touches the island's left and top edges, and the Atlantic Ocean touches the island's right and bottom edges.

The island is partitioned into a grid of square cells. You are given an m x n integer matrix heights where heights[r][c] represents the height above sea level of the cell at coordinate (r, c).

The island receives a lot of rain, and the rain water can flow to neighboring cells directly north, south, east, and west if the neighboring cell's height is less than or equal to the current cell's height. Water can flow from any cell adjacent to an ocean into the ocean.

Return 2D list of grid coordinates result where result[i] = [ri, ci] denotes that rain water can flow from cell (ri, ci) to both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Example 1:

Input: heights = [[1,2,2,3,5],[3,2,3,4,4],[2,4,5,3,1],[6,7,1,4,5],[5,1,1,2,4]]
Output: [[0,4],[1,3],[1,4],[2,2],[3,0],[3,1],[4,0]]

Example 2:

Input: heights = [[2,1],[1,2]]
Output: [[0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[1,1]]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Constraints:

  • m == heights.length
  • n == heights[r].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 200
  • 0 <= heights[r][c] <= $10^5$

Solutions

Solution 1

Intuition

from Ocean to land heights[x][y] <= heights[dx][dy]

two types flag, 1 and 2, if two ocean can reach land simultaneous, the flag will be 3

Code

class Solution {
private:
    int m, n;
    int dirs[5] = { 0, 1, 0, -1, 0 };
    vector<vector<int>> state;
    void dfs(int x, int y, int val, vector<vector<int>>& heights) {
        if (state[x][y] & val) return;
        state[x][y] |= val;
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            int dx = x + dirs[i], dy = y + dirs[i + 1];

            if (dx >= 0 && dx < m && dy >= 0 && dy < n && heights[x][y] <= heights[dx][dy]) {
                dfs(dx, dy, val, heights);
            }
        }
    }

public:
    vector<vector<int>> pacificAtlantic(vector<vector<int>>& heights) {
        m = heights.size(), n = heights[0].size();
        state.resize(m, vector<int>(n, 0));
        // top
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) dfs(0, i, 1, heights);
        // left
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) dfs(i, 0, 1, heights);
        // bottom
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) dfs(m - 1, i, 2, heights);
        // right
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) dfs(i, n - 1, 2, heights);

        vector<vector<int>> res;
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                if (state[i][j] == 3) res.push_back({ i,j });
            }
        }
        return res;
    }
};

  • Time: O(n)
  • Space: O(n)
