533. Lonely Pixel II

Given a picture consisting of black and white pixels, and a positive integer N, find the number of black pixels located at some specific row R and column C that align with all the following rules:

  1. Row R and column C both contain exactly N black pixels.

  2. For all rows that have a black pixel at column C, they should be exactly the same as row R

The picture is represented by a 2D char array consisting of 'B' and 'W', which means black and white pixels respectively.

Example:

Input:                                            
[['W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'B', 'W'],    
 ['W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'B', 'W'],    
 ['W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'B', 'W'],    
 ['W', 'W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'W']] 

N = 3
Output: 6
Explanation: All the bold 'B' are the black pixels we need (all 'B's at column 1 and 3).
        0    1    2    3    4    5         column index                                            
0    [['W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'B', 'W'],    
1     ['W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'B', 'W'],    
2     ['W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'B', 'W'],    
3     ['W', 'W', 'B', 'W', 'B', 'W']]    
row index

Take 'B' at row R = 0 and column C = 1 as an example:
Rule 1, row R = 0 and column C = 1 both have exactly N = 3 black pixels. 
Rule 2, the rows have black pixel at column C = 1 are row 0, row 1 and row 2. They are exactly the same as row R = 0.

Note:

  1. The range of width and height of the input 2D array is [1,200].

題目的意思是要找到一個'B' grid,他的同一個row上和同一個col上,都有N個'B'。而且沿著col上下要有N個row長一樣。

建立row和col arrays紀錄每個row/col出現多少次B。並且把每個row的array轉成一個string存在row2str裡,方便之後用row index定位到該row的array。 再把整個input 2D grid掃一遍,如果遇到某個grid的同個row/col上有N個B,那就固定那個col index往下掃描不同的row,檢查是否有N個row相等。如果找到相等的情形,把res更新之後要記得把col array歸零避免之後看到又重複計算。

一樣需要先掃描input 2D grid一遍,紀錄每個col index對應到的col有多少B在同個col上。並且用cur同時紀錄B在該row出現的數量,如果該row有N個B,那就把該row的array轉成string,當作unordered_map的key記錄下來。 然後再traverse unordered_map裡的entry,看看是否有string出現N次的,有的話就traverse那個string看看有沒有char是'B'而且該col的B總數為N。找到的話就可以在res上加N。
