I think a better solution is using BFS to walk from all buildings together and stop in the middle when all of them meet, instead of completing all spots. However, my run time is just 58ms. I think it is because I used custom class.
your solution seems to be fine at the first glance, but just want to be clear, you did not stop in the middle when all of them meet at the first time right? You stop when the accumulated reachable distance is no more less than the minimum distance. Otherwise, test case like [[1,0,1],[2,0,2],[2,1,2]] would be wrong. Also, you might push land at the same locations multiple times to the queue.

You want to build a house on an empty land which reaches all buildings in the shortest amount of distance. You can only move up, down, left and right. You are given a 2D grid of values
0
, 1
or 2
, where:- Each
0
marks an empty land which you can pass by freely. - Each
1
marks a building which you cannot pass through. - Each
2
marks an obstacle which you cannot pass through.
Example:
Given three buildings at
Given three buildings at
(0,0)
, (0,4)
, (2,2)
, and an obstacle at (0,2)
:
The point
(1,2)
is an ideal empty land to build a house, as the total travel distance of 3+3+1=7
is minimal.
Return
7
.
Note:
There will be at least one building. If it is not possible to build such house according to the above rules, return
-1
.

Short version: BFS from every building, calculate the distances and find the minimum distance in the end.
Key optimization : we do not go into a land, if it is not accessible by at least one of previous buildings.
The shortest distance from any empty land to a building can be calculated by BFS starting from the building in
O(mn)
time. Therefore the we can calculate distance from all buildings to empty lands by t
rounds of BFS starting from each building. t
is the total number of buildings.
In each round, we need maintain two values for every empty land: the distance and the accessibility.
dist[i][j]
is the empty land(i, j)
to all the buildings.grid[i][j]
is reused as the accessibility.
What is accessibility? It is the number of buildings that are accessible from the empty land.
In each round of BFS we can maintain these two values. In the end we just need to find the minimum value of
dist[i][j]
where the accessibility equals t
.
One interesting point is that the
grid[i][j]
can also be used to check if (i, j)
is visited in this round. At round k
(zero based), those has grid[i][j] == k
is the empty land unvisited, visited land will have grid[i][j] == k + 1
. Here comes the interesting part. One may ask what if grid[i][j] < k
? Answer is we do not go into the lands withgrid[i][j] < k
as if it is an obstacle. Why can we do that? Because grid[i][j] < k
means it is not accessible by at least one of the buildings in previous rounds. Which means not only this land is not our answer, all the lands accessible from (i, j)
is also not our answer.
This might be why it runs faster than many implements. The Java version runs in 13 ms.

Traverse the matrix. For each building, use BFS to compute the shortest distance from each '0' to this building. After we do this for all the buildings, we can get the sum of shortest distance from every '0' to all reachable buildings. This value is stored in 'distance[][]'. For example, if grid[2][2] == 0, distance[2][2] is the sum of shortest distance from this block to all reachable buildings. Time complexity: O(number of 1)O(number of 0) ~ O(m^2n^2)
We also count how many building each '0' can be reached. It is stored in reach[][]. This can be done during the BFS. We also need to count how many total buildings are there in the matrix, which is stored in 'buildingNum'.
Finally, we can traverse the distance[][] matrix to get the point having shortest distance to all buildings. O(m*n)
The total time complexity will be O(m^2*n^2), which is quite high!.
Isn't the time complexity O(#buildings * m^2 * n^2)? BFS's time complexity is O(|V||E|). Here we have mn vertices and the edges are proportional to m*n, so every BFS is O(m^2 * n^2). We do a BFS for every building so the total time complexity is O(#buildings * m^2 * n^2)?
The time complexity for BFS/DFS is O(|V|+|E|), not O(|V||E|). In this problem, every vertex has up to 4 edges (left, right, up, down), so |E| ~ 4|V|. Thus, you have overall O(|V|) = O(mn) for a BFS. This has been proven for all sparse graphs like this problem. Now, we do a BFS for each building, so the overall complexity is O(#buildings*(mn)). In worst case, every vertex is a building. So the number of buildings is also upper bounded by O(mn), and thus you have O((mn)(mn)) = O(m^2n^2). This is a very loose bound since when every vertex is a building, we don't even need to do a BFS (nowhere to go).

Given a grid which consists of 4 types of characters : ‘B’ ‘.’ ‘S’ and ‘D’. We need to reach D starting from S, at each step we can go to neighboring cells i.e. up, down, left and right. Cells having character ‘B’ are blocked i.e. at any step we can’t move to cell having ‘B’. Given grid has dots in such a way that there is only one way to reach any cell from any other cell. We need to tell how many times we need to choose our way from more than one choices i.e. decide the path to reach D.
We can solve this problem using DFS. In path from source to destination we can see that whenever we have more than 1 neighbors, we need to decide our path so first we do a DFS and store the path from source to the destination in terms of child-parent array and then we move from destination to source, cell by cell using parent array and at every cell where we have more than 1 neighbors we will increase our answer by 1.
