Radiation Search
The robots have learned that the last container which they picked up during a supply stop on another island is radioactive. There are five different kinds of spare parts contained within marked by number. The radiation is emitted from the largest group of identical spare parts (where each part is adjacently joined). Help them find this group and point out the quantity of identical parts within the group as well as the number of the spare part itself in the container.
The container is represented as a square matrix. The numbers 1 through 5 are used to label the different kinds of spare parts -- the elements of the matrix. Zero is an empty cell. Find the largest group of identical numbers adjacently joined to each other and point out both the quantity of the spare parts within the group and the number of the spare part itself.
Input: A square matrix as a list of lists. Each list contains integers
Output: The size and marking of the largest group as a list of two integers.
Example:
checkio([
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
[1, 1, 1, 2, 3],
[1, 1, 1, 2, 2],
[1, 2, 2, 2, 1],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]) == [14, 1]
checkio([
[2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4],
[2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2],
[2, 5, 4, 2, 2, 2],
[2, 5, 2, 2, 4, 2],
[2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2],
[2, 2, 4, 4, 2, 2]]) == [19, 2]
How it is used: In this task, you can learn about Union-finding algorithms and Disjoint-set data structures. It can be used in image recognition, geographic analysis and even model the partitioning of a set.
Precondition:
3 ≤ len(matrix) ≤ 10
all(all(0 ≤ x ≤ 5 for x in row) for row in matrix
any(any(x for x in row) for row in matrix
The tests have only one unique solutions.
CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.
In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)
Install CheckiO Client first:
pip3 install checkio_client
Configure your tool
checkio --domain=py config --key=
Sync solutions into your local folder
checkio sync
(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)
checkio serv -d
Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon
checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium
Read more here about other functionality that the checkio client provides. Feel free to submit an issue in case of any difficulties.
