DIY: Longest Increasing Path in a Matrix

Explore how to determine the longest increasing path in a given matrix, moving only to adjacent cells up, down, left, or right. Understand problem constraints and develop a function that calculates the longest strictly increasing sequence of cells. This lesson helps you enhance problem-solving skills essential for technical interviews.

Problem statement

You are given an m x n matrix. You have to return the length of the longest increasing path in this matrix.

From each cell, you can move in any one of four directions: ...
