Solution: Number of Distinct Islands
Explore how to identify and count distinct islands in a binary grid by learning to use depth-first search combined with hash maps. Understand how to normalize island shapes based on relative positions, store these shapes efficiently, and calculate the total number of unique island forms. This lesson provides insight into grid-based algorithms, hash map design, and their time and space complexities.
