HackerEarth Bob and cities problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Bob and cities problem solution, Bob is living in a city in which houses are arranged in NxM block.
The city is denoted by N strings having M characters such that ‘.’ denotes house while ‘#’ denotes forests.
Bob has to pay a certain amount LCost, RCost, UCost, DCost to move 1 step across left, right, up or down respectively.
Bob lives in a house having co-ordinates (Stx , Sty) (1-Based Indexing).
You are given Q tasks contains an integer X each. In each task, you have to find number of unique houses (including his house) can be travelled using the amount X.
