SDE - 2

You have been given a square chessboard of size ‘N x N’. The position coordinates of the Knight and the position coordinates of the target are also given.

Your task is to find out the minimum steps a Knight will take to reach the target position.

Example:

knightPosition: {3,4}
targetPosition: {2,1}

The knight can move from position (3,4) to positions (1,3), (2,2) and (4,2). Position (4,2) is selected and the ‘stepCount’ becomes 1. From position (4,2), the knight can directly jump to the position (2,1) which is the target point and ‘stepCount’ becomes 2 which is the final answer. 

Note:

1. The coordinates are 1 indexed. So, the bottom left square is (1,1) and the top right square is (N, N).

2. The knight can make 8 possible moves as given in figure 1.

3. A Knight moves 2 squares in one direction and 1 square in the perpendicular direction (or vice-versa).

You are given an 'N' * 'M' sized binary-valued matrix 'MAT, where 'N' is the number of rows and 'M' is the number of columns. You need to return the maximum size (area) of the submatrix which consists of all 1’s i.e. the maximum area of a submatrix in which each cell has only the value ‘1’.

In the above image, areas in green, red, and violet color are all submatrices of the original 4x4 matrix.

Note:

1. Binary valued matrix has only two values in each cell : 0 and 1.
2. A submatrix is a matrix formed by selecting certain rows and columns from a larger matrix.
3. The area of a matrix with 'h' rows and 'w' columns is equal to 'h' * 'w'. 

You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. You need to reverse the Linked List by changing the links between nodes.

Note :

You do not need to print anything, just return the head of the reversed linked list.
