| 3 | +# **2503. Maximum Number of Points From Grid Queries** |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## **Problem Statement** |
| 6 | +You are given an `m x n` integer matrix `grid` and an array `queries` of size `k`. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Find an array `answer` of size `k` such that for each integer `queries[i]`, you start in the **top-left cell** of the matrix and repeat the following process: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +1. If `queries[i]` is **strictly greater** than the value of the current cell, then: |
| 11 | + - You **gain one point** if it is your **first time** visiting this cell. |
| 12 | + - You can **move** to any adjacent cell **(up, down, left, or right)**. |
| 13 | +2. Otherwise, you **stop the process** and gain no more points. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +After processing each query, `answer[i]` is the **maximum number of points** you can collect. |
| 16 | +- **You can visit the same cell multiple times** for different queries. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Return the resulting array `answer`. |
| 19 | + |

| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## **Example 1** |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### **Input:** |
| 25 | +```plaintext |
| 26 | +grid = [[1,2,3], |
| 27 | + [2,5,7], |
| 28 | + [3,5,1]] |
| 29 | +queries = [5,6,2] |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### **Output:** |
| 33 | +```plaintext |
| 34 | +[5,8,1] |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### **Explanation:** |
| 38 | +For each query: |
| 39 | +- **Query = 5**: Visit `5` cells. |
| 40 | +- **Query = 6**: Visit `8` cells. |
| 41 | +- **Query = 2**: Visit `1` cell. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +--- |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## **Example 2** |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### **Input:** |
| 48 | +```plaintext |
| 49 | +grid = [[5,2,1], |
| 50 | + [1,1,2]] |
| 51 | +queries = [3] |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### **Output:** |
| 55 | +```plaintext |
| 56 | +[0] |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### **Explanation:** |
| 60 | +- The **top-left cell (5) is already ≥ 3**, so we **cannot move** and gain **0 points**. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +--- |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## **Constraints** |
| 65 | +- `m == grid.length` |
| 66 | +- `n == grid[i].length` |
| 67 | +- `2 <= m, n <= 1000` |
| 68 | +- `4 <= m * n <= 10⁵` |
| 69 | +- `k == queries.length` |
| 70 | +- `1 <= k <= 10⁴` |
| 71 | +- `1 <= grid[i][j], queries[i] <= 10⁶` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +--- |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## **Discussion** |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### **Approach 1: Min-Heap + BFS (Optimized Approach)** |
| 78 | +- **Use a Min-Heap** to efficiently process the smallest grid values first. |
| 79 | +- **Sort queries** in increasing order to process them efficiently. |
| 80 | +- **Use BFS (Breadth-First Search)** to expand cells **only when needed**. |
| 81 | +- **Store results** for each query and return `answer`. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +### **Time Complexity:** |
| 84 | +- **O(m * n log(m * n) + k log k)** → Efficient for large grids. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### **Space Complexity:** |
| 87 | +- **O(m * n + k)** → Stores visited cells and results. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +--- |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +## **🔥 Optimized Solution Using Python** |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +```python |
| 94 | +from heapq import heappush, heappop |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +def maxPoints(grid, queries): |
| 97 | + m, n = len(grid), len(grid[0]) |
| 98 | + answer = [] |
| 99 | + queries_sorted = sorted(enumerate(queries), key=lambda x: x[1]) |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | + # Min-Heap for BFS |
| 102 | + heap = [(grid[0][0], 0, 0)] |
| 103 | + visited = set((0, 0)) |
| 104 | + count = 0 |
| 105 | + res_map = {} |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | + for idx, query in queries_sorted: |
| 108 | + while heap and heap[0][0] < query: |
| 109 | + _, r, c = heappop(heap) |
| 110 | + count += 1 |
| 111 | + for dr, dc in [(-1,0), (1,0), (0,-1), (0,1)]: |
| 112 | + nr, nc = r + dr, c + dc |
| 113 | + if 0 <= nr < m and 0 <= nc < n and (nr, nc) not in visited: |
| 114 | + heappush(heap, (grid[nr][nc], nr, nc)) |
| 115 | + visited.add((nr, nc)) |
| 116 | + res_map[idx] = count |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | + return [res_map[i] for i in range(len(queries))] |
| 119 | +``` |
