Question

302. Smallest Rectangle Enclosing Black Pixels

You are given an image that is represented by a binary matrix with 0 as a white pixel and 1 as a black pixel.

The black pixels are connected (i.e., there is only one black region). Pixels are connected horizontally and vertically.

Given two integers x and y that represent the location of one of the black pixels, return the area of the smallest (axis-aligned) rectangle that encloses all black pixels.

Example 1:

Input: image = [["0","0","1","0"],["0","1","1","0"],["0","1","0","0"]], x = 0, y = 2
Output: 6

Example 2:

Input: image = [["1"]], x = 0, y = 0
Output: 1

Constraints:

• m == image.length

• n == image[i].length

• 1 <= m, n <= 100

• image[i][j] is either '0' or '1'.

• 1 <= x < m

• 1 <= y < n

• image[x][y] == '1'.

• The black pixels in the image only form one component.
