Some players are put inside an ‘N’ x ‘M’ matrix ‘GRID’ one by one where:

  • ‘.’ represents an empty cell.
  • ‘#’ represents a wall.
  • ‘@’ represents the starting point.
  • Lowercase letters represent keys.
  • Uppercase letters represent locks.

The player to collect all the keys in minimum moves will win the game. The ninja is one of the players and needs your help to win the game. He wants you to find the minimum number of moves to get all the keys. The rules of the game are:

  • You have to start from the starting point and move in one of the four cardinal directions.
  • You cannot walk outside the grid or walk into a wall. You can pick a key whenever you walk over it.
  • You cannot walk over a lock unless you have the corresponding key. For example, the key for the lock ‘A’ is ‘a’.
  • There is exactly one key for each lock.

For Example:

You are given ‘GRID’= [[“@.aA”],[“.B#.”],[“...b”]]. Then the answer will be 5.
