Today I have done leetcode's October LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.

October LeetCoding Challenge 30

Description

Shortest Path in a Grid with Obstacles Elimination

You are given an m x n integer matrix grid where each cell is either 0 (empty) or 1 (obstacle). You can move up, down, left, or right from and to an empty cell in one step.

Return the minimum number of steps to walk from the upper left corner (0, 0) to the lower right corner (m - 1, n - 1) given that you can eliminate at most k obstacles. If it is not possible to find such walk return -1.

 

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[0,0,0],[1,1,0],[0,0,0],[0,1,1],[0,0,0]], k = 1
Output: 6
Explanation: 
The shortest path without eliminating any obstacle is 10.
The shortest path with one obstacle elimination at position (3,2) is 6. Such path is (0,0) -> (0,1) -> (0,2) -> (1,2) -> (2,2) -> (3,2) -> (4,2).

Example 2:

Input: grid = [[0,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,0,0]], k = 1
Output: -1
Explanation: We need to eliminate at least two obstacles to find such a walk.

 

Constraints:

  • m == grid.length
  • n == grid[i].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 40
  • 1 <= k <= m * n
  • grid[i][j] is either 0 or 1.
  • grid[0][0] == grid[m - 1][n - 1] == 0

Solution

const int8_t moves[4][2] = {{0, 1}, {1, 0}, {0, -1}, {-1, 0}};
bool vis[80][40][40];
struct State {
  int16_t step;
  int8_t rest;
  int8_t row;
  int8_t column;
  State(int16_t step = 0, int8_t rest = 0, int8_t row = 0, int8_t column = 0) : 
    step(step), rest(rest), row(row), column(column) { }
  bool operator<(const State& other) const {
    return step > other.step || (step == other.step && rest < other.rest);
  }
};
class Solution {
public:
  int shortestPath(vector<vector<int>>& grid, int k) {
    int8_t rows = grid.size();
    int8_t cols = grid.front().size();
    if(k >= rows + cols - 3) return rows + cols - 2;
    memset(vis, 0, sizeof(vis[0]) * (k + 1));
    priority_queue<State> pq;
    pq.push(State(0, k, 0, 0));
    vis[k][0][0] = true;
    while(pq.size()) {
      auto [step, rest, row, col] = pq.top();
      // cout << step << " " << rest << " " << row << " " << col <<endl;
      pq.pop();
      if(row == rows - 1 && col == cols - 1) return step;
      for(int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
        int8_t newRow = row + moves[i][0];
        int8_t newCol = col + moves[i][1];
        int8_t newRest = rest;
        if(newRow >= rows || newCol >= cols || newRow < 0 || newCol < 0) continue;
        newRest -= grid[newRow][newCol];
        // cout << newRest << ' ' << newRow << ' ' << newCol <<endl;
        if(newRest < 0 || vis[newRest][newRow][newCol]) {
          continue;
        }
        pq.push(State(step + 1, newRest, newRow, newCol));
        vis[newRest][newRow][newCol] = true;
      }
    }
    return -1;
  }
};
