Max Area of Island

You are given an m x n binary matrix grid. An island is a group of 1's representing land connected 4-directionally (horizontally or vertically). You may assume all four edges of the grid are surrounded by water.

The area of an island is the number of cells with a value 1 in the island.

Return the maximum area of an island in grid. If there is no island, return 0.

Example 1
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
Inputgrid = [[0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0],[0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,0],[0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0]]
Output6
The answer is not 11, because the island must be connected 4-directionally.
Example 2
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Inputgrid = [[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]]
Output0
There are no cells with value 1, so there is no island and the maximum area is 0.

Constraints

  • m == grid.length
  • n == grid[i].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 50
  • grid[i][j] is either 0 or 1.
