  • Difficulty: Medium.
  • Related Topics: Array, Matrix, Simulation.
  • Similar Questions: Bomb Enemy, Available Captures for Rook.

Problem

You are given two integers m and n representing a 0-indexed m x n grid. You are also given two 2D integer arrays guards and walls where guards[i] = [rowi, coli] and walls[j] = [rowj, colj] represent the positions of the ith guard and jth wall respectively.

A guard can see every cell in the four cardinal directions (north, east, south, or west) starting from their position unless obstructed by a wall or another guard. A cell is guarded if there is at least one guard that can see it.

Return** the number of unoccupied cells that are not guarded.**

  Example 1:

Input: m = 4, n = 6, guards = [[0,0],[1,1],[2,3]], walls = [[0,1],[2,2],[1,4]]
Output: 7
Explanation: The guarded and unguarded cells are shown in red and green respectively in the above diagram.
There are a total of 7 unguarded cells, so we return 7.

Example 2:

Input: m = 3, n = 3, guards = [[1,1]], walls = [[0,1],[1,0],[2,1],[1,2]]
Output: 4
Explanation: The unguarded cells are shown in green in the above diagram.
There are a total of 4 unguarded cells, so we return 4.

  Constraints:

  • 1 <= m, n <= 105

  • 2 <= m * n <= 105

  • 1 <= guards.length, walls.length <= 5 * 104

  • 2 <= guards.length + walls.length <= m * n

  • guards[i].length == walls[j].length == 2

  • 0 <= rowi, rowj < m

  • 0 <= coli, colj < n

  • All the positions in guards and walls are unique.
