Number of Islands

Problem

Given a boolean 2D matrix, find the number of islands.

Example

Given graph:

[
  [1, 1, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 1, 0, 0, 1],
  [0, 0, 0, 1, 1],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 1]
]

return 3.

Note

0 is represented as the sea, 1 is represented as the island. If two 1 is adjacent, we consider them in the same island. We only consider up/down/left/right adjacent.

Solution

A very basic BFS / DFS problem.
