Longest Increasing Path in Matrix Problem Statement
Given a 2-D matrix mat
with 'N' rows and 'M' columns, where each element at position (i, j) is mat[i][j]
, determine the length of the longest increasing path starting from mat[0][0]
and ending at any cell.
Explanation:
You can move:
- To
mat[i+1][j]
ifmat[i+1][j] > mat[i][j]
- To
mat[i][j+1]
ifmat[i][j+1] > mat[i][j]
Your task is to compute the longest path possible starting at (0,0).
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' representing the number of test cases. Each test case contains:
The first line with two space-separated integers, 'N' and 'M'.
The next 'N' lines contain 'M' space-separated integers each, describing the matrix 'mat'.
Output:
For each test case, output one integer per line representing the length of the longest increasing path for the given matrix.
Example:
Input:
2
2 2
1 2
3 4
3 3
1 2 3
6 5 4
7 8 9
Output:
3
5
Explanation:
In the first test case, the longest path is 1 -> 2 -> 4 with length 3. In the second test case, the longest path is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 9 with length 5.
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 50
1 <= N <= 100
1 <= M <= 100
-109 <= mat[i][j] <= 109
Note: Implement the function to calculate the path; no need to handle input/output as it's managed externally.
