Problem
In an n*n
grid, there is a snake that spans 2 cells and starts moving from the top left corner at (0, 0)
and (0, 1)
. The grid has empty cells represented by zeros and blocked cells represented by ones. The snake wants to reach the lower right corner at (n-1, n-2)
and (n-1, n-1)
.
In one move the snake can:
- Move one cell to the right if there are no blocked cells there. This move keeps the horizontal/vertical position of the snake as it is.
- Move down one cell if there are no blocked cells there. This move keeps the horizontal/vertical position of the snake as it is.
- Rotate clockwise if it's in a horizontal position and the two cells under it are both empty. In that case the snake moves from
(r, c)
and(r, c+1)
to(r, c)
and(r+1, c)
.
- Rotate counterclockwise if it's in a vertical position and the two cells to its right are both empty. In that case the snake moves from
(r, c)
and(r+1, c)
to(r, c)
and(r, c+1)
.
Return the minimum number of moves to reach the target.
If there is no way to reach the target, return -1
.
Example 1:
Input: grid = [[0,0,0,0,0,1], [1,1,0,0,1,0], [0,0,0,0,1,1], [0,0,1,0,1,0], [0,1,1,0,0,0], [0,1,1,0,0,0]] Output: 11 Explanation: One possible solution is [right, right, rotate clockwise, right, down, down, down, down, rotate counterclockwise, right, down].
Example 2:
Input: grid = [[0,0,1,1,1,1], [0,0,0,0,1,1], [1,1,0,0,0,1], [1,1,1,0,0,1], [1,1,1,0,0,1], [1,1,1,0,0,0]] Output: 9
Constraints:
2 <= n <= 100
0 <= grid[i][j] <= 1
- It is guaranteed that the snake starts at empty cells.
