leetcode-problemset/leetcode/problem/maximum-number-of-moves-in-a-grid.html

<p>You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> <code>m x n</code> matrix <code>grid</code> consisting of <strong>positive</strong> integers.</p>

<p>You can start at <strong>any</strong> cell in the first column of the matrix, and traverse the grid in the following way:</p>

<ul>
	<li>From a cell <code>(row, col)</code>, you can move to any of the cells: <code>(row - 1, col + 1)</code>, <code>(row, col + 1)</code> and <code>(row + 1, col + 1)</code> such that the value of the cell you move to, should be <strong>strictly</strong> bigger than the value of the current cell.</li>
</ul>

<p>Return <em>the <strong>maximum</strong> number of <strong>moves</strong> that you can perform.</em></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[2,4,3,5],[5,4,9,3],[3,4,2,11],[10,9,13,15]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 3
<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can start at the cell (0, 0) and make the following moves:
- (0, 0) -&gt; (0, 1).
- (0, 1) -&gt; (1, 2).
- (1, 2) -&gt; (2, 3).
It can be shown that it is the maximum number of moves that can be made.</pre>

<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[3,2,4],[2,1,9],[1,1,7]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 0
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Starting from any cell in the first column we cannot perform any moves.
