<p>You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> 2D integer array <code>grid</code> of size <code>m x n</code> that represents a map of the items in a shop. The integers in the grid represent the following:</p>

<ul>
	<li><code>0</code> represents a wall that you cannot pass through.</li>
	<li><code>1</code> represents an empty cell that you can freely move to and from.</li>
	<li>All other positive integers represent the price of an item in that cell. You may also freely move to and from these item cells.</li>
</ul>

<p>It takes <code>1</code> step to travel between adjacent grid cells.</p>

<p>You are also given integer arrays <code>pricing</code> and <code>start</code> where <code>pricing = [low, high]</code> and <code>start = [row, col]</code> indicates that you start at the position <code>(row, col)</code> and are interested only in items with a price in the range of <code>[low, high]</code> (<strong>inclusive</strong>). You are further given an integer <code>k</code>.</p>

<p>You are interested in the <strong>positions</strong> of the <code>k</code> <strong>highest-ranked</strong> items whose prices are <strong>within</strong> the given price range. The rank is determined by the <strong>first</strong> of these criteria that is different:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Distance, defined as the length of the shortest path from the <code>start</code> (<strong>shorter</strong> distance has a higher rank).</li>
	<li>Price (<strong>lower</strong> price has a higher rank, but it must be <strong>in the price range</strong>).</li>
	<li>The row number (<strong>smaller</strong> row number has a higher rank).</li>
	<li>The column number (<strong>smaller</strong> column number has a higher rank).</li>
</ol>

<p>Return <em>the </em><code>k</code><em> highest-ranked items within the price range <strong>sorted</strong> by their rank (highest to lowest)</em>. If there are fewer than <code>k</code> reachable items within the price range, return <em><strong>all</strong> of them</em>.</p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[1,2,0,1],[1,3,0,1],[0,2,5,1]], pricing = [2,5], start = [0,0], k = 3
<strong>Output:</strong> [[0,1],[1,1],[2,1]]
<strong>Explanation:</strong> You start at (0,0).
With a price range of [2,5], we can take items from (0,1), (1,1), (2,1) and (2,2).
The ranks of these items are:
- (0,1) with distance 1
- (1,1) with distance 2
- (2,1) with distance 3
- (2,2) with distance 4
Thus, the 3 highest ranked items in the price range are (0,1), (1,1), and (2,1).

<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/12/16/example2drawio1.png" style="width: 200px; height: 151px;" />
<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[1,2,0,1],[1,3,3,1],[0,2,5,1]], pricing = [2,3], start = [2,3], k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> [[2,1],[1,2]]
<strong>Explanation:</strong> You start at (2,3).
With a price range of [2,3], we can take items from (0,1), (1,1), (1,2) and (2,1).
The ranks of these items are:
- (2,1) with distance 2, price 2
- (1,2) with distance 2, price 3
- (1,1) with distance 3
- (0,1) with distance 4
Thus, the 2 highest ranked items in the price range are (2,1) and (1,2).

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>
<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/12/30/example3.png" style="width: 149px; height: 150px;" />
<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[1,1,1],[0,0,1],[2,3,4]], pricing = [2,3], start = [0,0], k = 3
<strong>Output:</strong> [[2,1],[2,0]]
<strong>Explanation:</strong> You start at (0,0).
With a price range of [2,3], we can take items from (2,0) and (2,1). 
The ranks of these items are: 
- (2,1) with distance 5
- (2,0) with distance 6
Thus, the 2 highest ranked items in the price range are (2,1) and (2,0). 
Note that k = 3 but there are only 2 reachable items within the price range.
