Problem: Max Area of Island

med
30 min
Explore how to analyze a binary matrix to determine the largest connected group of land cells using graph traversal techniques. Understand problem constraints and implement an efficient solution to identify the maximum island area, preparing you for typical coding interview challenges.

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.
