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

For those getting WA. A Path has to start from 'A' and sequence of consecutive letters (not just any sequence of consecutive letters.
BCD & AB the op = 2 not 3.

FIRST dfs prob !! Ac :)

This is easy i don't know why it has 20% success rate :D

Well , instead of saying DFS , i will say recursion with memoization

mr salimi what r u doing ?

Harsh Vardhan Ladha: 2015-09-08 19:49:44

Consider the case when matrix do not have character A
Caused me 3 WA :/

DFS

Similar Problem : ALLIZWELL

Multisource BFS is your friend (y)

One TLE, One WA.first use bfs...then output error.haha
