130. Surrounded Regions

https://leetcode.com/problems/surrounded-regions/description/

Given a 2D board containing 'X' and 'O' (the letter O), capture all regions surrounded by 'X'.

A region is captured by flipping all 'O's into 'X's in that surrounded region.

Example:

X X X X
X O O X
X X O X
X O X X

After running your function, the board should be:

X X X X
X X X X
X X X X
X O X X

Explanation:

Surrounded regions shouldn’t be on the border, which means that any 'O' on the border of the board are not flipped to 'X'. Any 'O' that is not on the border and it is not connected to an 'O' on the border will be flipped to 'X'. Two cells are connected if they are adjacent cells connected horizontally or vertically.

Thoughts

由X和O组成的矩阵,将四周都被X围起来的O替换成X。UnionFind配合dummy node,把连在一起的结点像Number of Islands一样连起来,且把所有不被围着的(在边上的)和dummy node连起来。最后对每个'O'检查其是否和dummy node相连。

Code

Analysis

时间复杂度不超过O(N^3), 空间复杂度O(N).
