Closest DashMart
Problem Statement
A DashMart is a warehouse run by DoorDash that houses items found in convenience stores, grocery stores, and restaurants. We have a city with open roads, blocked-off roads, and DashMarts.
City planners want you to identify how far a location is from its closest DashMart.
You can only travel over open roads (up, down, left, right).
Locations are given in [row, col] format.
Example 1
[
['X', ' ', ' ', 'D', ' ', ' ', 'X', ' ', 'X'], # 0
['X', ' ', 'X', 'X', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'X'], # 1
[' ', ' ', ' ', 'D', 'X', 'X', ' ', 'X', ' '], # 2
[' ', ' ', ' ', 'D', ' ', 'X', ' ', ' ', ' '], # 3
[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'X', ' ', ' ', 'X'], # 4
[' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', 'X', ' ', ' ', 'X', 'X'] # 5]
' ' represents an open road that you can travel over in any direction (up, down, left, or right).
'X' represents an blocked road that you cannot travel through.
'D' represents a DashMart.
