959. Regions Cut By Slashes

Medium

Topics: Array, Hash Table, Depth-First Search, Breadth-First Search, Union Find, Matrix

An n x n grid is composed of 1 x 1 squares where each 1 x 1 square consists of a '/', '\', or blank space ' '. These characters divide the square into contiguous regions.

Given the grid grid represented as a string array, return the number of regions.

Note that backslash characters are escaped, so a '\' is represented as '\\'.

Example 1:

• Input: grid = [" /","/ "]
• Output: 2

Example 2:

• Input: grid = [" /"," "]
• Output: 1

Example 3:

• Input: grid = ["/\","\/"]
• Output: 5
• Explanation: Recall that because \ characters are escaped, "\/" refers to \/, and "/\" refers to /.

Constraints:

• n == grid.length == grid[i].length
• 1 <= n <= 30
• grid[i][j] is either '/', '\', or ' '.

Solution:

We can represent each 1x1 square as 4 triangles, which allows us to apply a Union-Find (Disjoint Set Union, DSU) algorithm to count the distinct regions.

Step-by-Step Approach:

1. Grid Representation:

   • We treat each 1x1 square as 4 triangles:
     • Top-left triangle
     • Top-right triangle
     • Bottom-left triangle
     • Bottom-right triangle
   • Each of these triangles is represented by an index in the Union-Find structure.

2. Mapping Characters:

   • If the square is ' ', all 4 triangles within it are connected.
   • If the square is '/', the top-left triangle is connected to the bottom-right, and the top-right triangle is connected to the bottom-left.
   • If the square is '\', the top-left triangle is connected to the top-right, and the bottom-left triangle is connected to the bottom-right.

3. Connecting Adjacent Cells:

   • We connect the triangles of adjacent cells across the grid's boundaries. This ensures that regions spanning multiple cells are properly connected.

4. Counting the Regions:

   • We count the number of unique sets in the Union-Find structure, which corresponds to the number of regions.

Let's implement this solution in PHP: 959. Regions Cut By Slashes

  
  
  Explanation:



The UnionFind class is used to manage the connected components (regions) in the grid.
For each cell in the grid, we apply the union operation based on the character ('/', '\', or ' ').
Finally, the number of unique regions is determined by counting the distinct root parents in the Union-Find structure.


This solution efficiently handles the problem within the given constraints.
