Solution: Number of Distinct Islands

Explore how to identify and count distinct islands in a binary matrix by using depth-first search to map connected land cells. Understand how normalizing island coordinates and storing shapes in hash maps helps distinguish unique island patterns. This lesson explains the algorithm, its implementation, and analyzes time and space complexity for optimization.

Statement

Given an m x n binary matrix where 11 represents land and 00 represents water. An island is a group of connected 1s1s ...
