01 Matrix

Problem

Given an m x n binary matrix mat, return the distance of the nearest 0 for each cell.

The distance between two adjacent cells is 1.

Example 1:

Input: mat = [[0,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,0]]
Output: [[0,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,0]]

Example 2:

Input: mat = [[0,0,0],[0,1,0],[1,1,1]]
Output: [[0,0,0],[0,1,0],[1,2,1]]

Pseudocode

- rephrase question as find shortest distance of 1 to 0
- use a queue, start with 0 value cells and reassign 1 to -1
- while queue is not empty
    - iterate through queue (where cells were 0 value), in 4 directions
    - if cells are -1 while traversing, push it into queue
    - reassign cell value to origin cell from where it traverse + 1

        continue;
