3459. Length of Longest V-Shaped Diagonal Segment

Description

You are given a 2D integer matrix grid of size n x m, where each element is either 0, 1, or 2.

A V-shaped diagonal segment is defined as:

  • The segment starts with 1.
  • The subsequent elements follow this infinite sequence: 2, 0, 2, 0, ....
  • The segment:
    • Starts along a diagonal direction (top-left to bottom-right, bottom-right to top-left, top-right to bottom-left, or bottom-left to top-right).
    • Continues the sequence in the same diagonal direction.
    • Makes at most one clockwise 90-degree turn to another diagonal direction while maintaining the sequence.

Return the length of the longest V-shaped diagonal segment. If no valid segment exists, return 0.

 

Example 1:

Input: grid = [[2,2,1,2,2],[2,0,2,2,0],[2,0,1,1,0],[1,0,2,2,2],[2,0,0,2,2]]

Output: 5

Explanation:

The longest V-shaped diagonal segment has a length of 5 and follows these coordinates: (0,2) → (1,3) → (2,4), takes a 90-degree clockwise turn at (2,4), and continues as (3,3) → (4,2).

Example 2:

Input: grid = [[2,2,2,2,2],[2,0,2,2,0],[2,0,1,1,0],[1,0,2,2,2],[2,0,0,2,2]]

Output: 4

Explanation:

The longest V-shaped diagonal segment has a length of 4 and follows these coordinates: (2,3) → (3,2), takes a 90-degree clockwise turn at (3,2), and continues as (2,1) → (1,0).

Example 3:

Input: grid = [[1,2,2,2,2],[2,2,2,2,0],[2,0,0,0,0],[0,0,2,2,2],[2,0,0,2,0]]

Output: 5

Explanation:

The longest V-shaped diagonal segment has a length of 5 and follows these coordinates: (0,0) → (1,1) → (2,2) → (3,3) → (4,4).

Example 4:

Input: grid = [[1]]

Output: 1

Explanation:

The longest V-shaped diagonal segment has a length of 1 and follows these coordinates: (0,0).

 

Constraints:

  • n == grid.length
  • m == grid[i].length
  • 1 <= n, m <= 500
  • grid[i][j] is either 0, 1 or 2.
