1905. Count Sub Islands

Description

You are given two m x n binary matrices grid1 and grid2 containing only 0's (representing water) and 1's (representing land). An island is a group of 1's connected 4-directionally (horizontal or vertical). Any cells outside of the grid are considered water cells.

An island in grid2 is considered a sub-island if there is an island in grid1 that contains all the cells that make up this island in grid2.

Return the number of islands in grid2 that are considered sub-islands.

 

Example 1:

Input: grid1 = [[1,1,1,0,0],[0,1,1,1,1],[0,0,0,0,0],[1,0,0,0,0],[1,1,0,1,1]], grid2 = [[1,1,1,0,0],[0,0,1,1,1],[0,1,0,0,0],[1,0,1,1,0],[0,1,0,1,0]]
Output: 3
Explanation: In the picture above, the grid on the left is grid1 and the grid on the right is grid2.
The 1s colored red in grid2 are those considered to be part of a sub-island. There are three sub-islands.

Example 2:

Input: grid1 = [[1,0,1,0,1],[1,1,1,1,1],[0,0,0,0,0],[1,1,1,1,1],[1,0,1,0,1]], grid2 = [[0,0,0,0,0],[1,1,1,1,1],[0,1,0,1,0],[0,1,0,1,0],[1,0,0,0,1]]
Output: 2 
Explanation: In the picture above, the grid on the left is grid1 and the grid on the right is grid2.
The 1s colored red in grid2 are those considered to be part of a sub-island. There are two sub-islands.

 

Constraints:

  • m == grid1.length == grid2.length
  • n == grid1[i].length == grid2[i].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 500
  • grid1[i][j] and grid2[i][j] are either 0 or 1.

Solutions

Solution 1: DFS

We can traverse each cell $(i, j)$ in the matrix grid2. If the value of the cell is $1$, we start a depth-first search from this cell, set the value of all cells connected to this cell to $0$, and record whether the corresponding cell in grid1 is also $1$ for all cells connected to this cell. If it is $1$, it means that this cell is also an island in grid1, otherwise it is not. Finally, we count the number of sub-islands in grid2.

The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, and the space complexity is $O(m \times n)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the matrices grid1 and grid2, respectively.
