Problem statement
You are given an n x n binary matrix grid containing 0s and 1s. Each cell in the grid represents either land or water. A cell with a value 1 represents land, while one with a value 0 represents water. A bunch of four-directionally adjacent cells with the value 1 constitutes an island.
There are exactly two islands in the
grid. ...
