Problem: Max Area of Island

Medium
30 min
Explore how to identify and measure islands in a binary grid using graph traversal methods. Understand how to calculate the maximum connected land area by applying patterns in graph-related coding interviews.

Statement

You are given an m×nm × n binary matrix grid, where 1 represents land, and 0 represents water.An island is a maximal group of land cells connected 4-directionally (up, down, left, right); diagonal connections do not count. You may assume the grid’s boundary is surrounded by water. The area of an island is the number of land cells it contains.

Your task is to compute and return the maximum area among all islands in the grid. If no island exists, return 0.

Constraints:

  • m==m == grid.length

  • n==n == grid[i].length

  • 1<=m,n<=501 <=m, n <= 50

  • grid[i][j] is either 00 or 11.
