You have been given a grid containing some oranges. Each cell of this grid has one of the three integers values:

  • Value 0 - representing an empty cell.
  • Value 1 - representing a fresh orange.
  • Value 2 - representing a rotten orange.
  • Every second, any fresh orange that is adjacent(4-directionally) to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

    Your task is to find out the minimum time after which no cell has a fresh orange. If it's impossible to rot all the fresh oranges then print -1.

    Note:
    1. The grid has 0-based indexing.
    2. A rotten orange can affect the adjacent oranges 4 directionally i.e. Up, Down, Left, Right.

    You have a robot currently standing at the origin (0, 0) of a two-dimensional grid and facing north direction. You are given a sequence of moves for the robot in the form of a string of size 'N'. You are required to find whether the path followed by the robot upon taking the moves is circular or not.

    A sequence of moves is circular if and only if the robot ends up from where it initially started.

    The sequence of moves contains only three types of moves.

    'G': it means that the robot will move 1 unit in the direction it is facing.
    
    'L': it means that the robot will move 90 degrees towards its left. For example, if the robot is facing north and it has to make an ‘L’ move, then it will start facing the west direction.
    
    'R': it means the robot will move 90 degrees towards its right. For example, if the robot is facing north and it has to make an ‘R’ move then it will start facing the east direction.

    You are given a square matrix of non-negative integers 'MATRIX'. Your task is to rotate that array by 90 degrees in an anti-clockwise direction using constant extra space.

    For example:

    For given 2D array :
    
        [    [ 1,  2,  3 ],
             [ 4,  5,  6 ],
             [ 7,  8,  9 ]  ]
    
    After 90 degree rotation in anti clockwise direction, it will become:
    
        [   [ 3,  6,  9 ],
            [ 2,  5,  8 ],
            [ 1,  4,  7 ]   ]

    Given a string STR of length N. The task is to return the count of minimum characters to be added at front to make the string a palindrome.

    For example, for the given string “deed”, the string is already a palindrome, thus, minimum characters needed are 0.

    Similarly, for the given string “aabaaca”, the minimum characters needed are 2 i.e. ‘a’ and ‘c’ which makes the string “acaabaaca” palindrome.
