connected-cells

A Typescript exercise in search algorithm

Note: PLEASE FORK THIS REPOSITORY

Consider a matrix with n rows and m columns, where each cell contains either a 0 or a 1 and any cell containing a 1 is called a filled cell. Two cells are said to be connected if they are adjacent to each other horizontally, vertically, or diagonally; in other words, cell [ j ][ k ] is connected to cells [ j - 1 ][ k - 1 ], [ j - 1 ][ k ], [ j - 1 ][ k + 1 ], [ j ][ k - 1], [ j ][ k + 1 ], [ j + 1][k - 1 ], [ j + 1 ][ k ], and [ j + 1 ][ k + 1 ], provided that the location exists in the matrix for that [ j ][ k ].

If one or more filled cells are also connected, they form a region. Note that each cell in a region is connected to at least one other cell in the region but is not necessarily directly connected to all the other cells in the region.

Task

Given an n * m matrix, find and print the number of cells in the largest region in the matrix. Note that there may be more than one region in the matrix.

Requirement

You MUST use Typescript to complete this exercise.

Test Cases

n = 4, m = 4, matrix =
1 1 0 0
  0 1 1 0
  0 0 1 0
  1 0 0 0
(Answer: 5)

n = 5, m = 5, matrix =
1 1 0 0 0
0 1 1 0 0
0 0 1 0 1
1 0 0 0 1
0 1 0 1 1
(Answer: 5)

Bonus (optional)

Build a user interface that showcases the algorithm, it should include:

  • A form to input number of columns and rows
  • An interface to specify the content of the cells (0 or 1)

Note: you MUST use React to complete this section.
