Given N x M character matrix A of O's
and X's
, where O
= white
, X
= black
.
Return the number of black shapes. A black shape consists of one or more adjacent X's
(diagonals not included)
Input Format:
The First and only argument is a N x M character matrix.
Output Format:
Return a single integer denoting number of black shapes.
Constraints:
1 <= N,M <= 1000
A[i][j] = 'X' or 'O'
Example:
Input 1:
A = [ OOOXOOO
OOXXOXO
OXOOOXO ]
Output 1:
3
Explanation:
3 shapes are :
(i) X
X X
(ii)
X
(iii)
X
