题目描述

A group of two or more people wants to meet and minimize the total travel distance. You are given a 2D grid of values 0 or 1, where each 1 marks the home of someone in the group. The distance is calculated using Manhattan Distance, where distance(p1, p2) = |p2.x - p1.x| + |p2.y - p1.y|.

Example:
Input: 

1 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 1
|   |   |   |   |
0 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0
|   |   |   |   |
0 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0

Output: 6 

Explanation: Given three people living at (0,0), (0,4), and (2,2):
             The point (0,2) is an ideal meeting point, as the total travel distance 
             of 2+2+2=6 is minimal. So return 6.

代码

Approach #1 Sort

Time: O(mn log mn) && Space: O(mn) Since there could be at most m×n points, therefore the time complexity is O(mn log mn) due to sorting.

As long as there is equal number of points to the left and right of the meeting point, the total distance is minimized.

Approach #2 Collect Coordinates in Sorted Order

Time: O(mn) && Space: O(mn)

Approach #3 BFS [Time Limit Exceeded]
