ABCPATH - ABC Path

no tags 

You will be given a 2-dimensional grid of letters. Find the length of the longest path of consecutive letters, starting at 'A'. Paths can step from one letter in the grid to any adjacent letter (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).

For example, in the following grid, there are several paths from 'A' to 'D', but none from 'A' to 'E':

ABC

One such path is:

path

Input

Each test case will start with a line contains two integers H, W the height and width of the grid respectively 1 <= H, W <= 50. Then H lines follow each of W uppercase letters only. Input terminates with H = 0 and W = 0.

Output

For each test case print “Case C: X” without quotes where C is the case number starting with 1 and X is the solution.

Example

Sample Input:
4 3
ABE
CFG
BDH
ABC
0 0

Sample Output:
Case 1: 4

use multipointbfs

solved in one go using dp :D

AC in one GO!!!

easy one ! use dfs !!

if there is no 'A' ans should be 0, cost me 1 WA

Using excess stack memory in recursion resulted in TLE. Finally AC. :)

simple recursion always works. :) at first i thought it would run out of time but careful observation leaves us with only 2 cases :D

sriraj: 2016-10-14 01:20:46

Careful of the case where no 'A' is present

Got 5 Wa because of wrongly taking the string input .-.
