LeetCode Records - Question 221 Maximal Square Attempt 1: Create a function to check the square with a specific length class Solution { private int m; private int n; private char[][] matrix; public int maximalSquare(char[][] matrix) { this.m = matrix.length; this.n = matrix[0].length; this.matrix = matrix; int maxLength = 0; for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) { while (isSquare(i, j, maxLength + 1)) { maxLength++; } } } return maxLength * maxLength; } private boolean isSquare(int startI, int startJ, int length) { int endI = startI + length; int endJ = startJ + length; if (endI > m || endJ > n) { return false; } for (int i = startI; i < endI; i++) { for (int j = startJ; j < endJ; j++) { if (matrix[i][j] == '0') { return false; } } } return true; } } Runtime: 41 ms (Beats: 10.31%) Memory: 56.22 MB (Beats: 86.96%)
