HackerEarth Divide and distribute problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Divide and distribute problem solution You are given a graph in the form of a matrix of size N * M containing ‘#’ and ‘.’.All the cells containing ‘#’ are nodes of the graph and two nodes are considered to be connected if they are present at the top, left, right, or bottom of each other. Initially, the graph is connected.
Write a program to determine the minimum number of nodes that need to be deleted from the graph in order to break it into two unconnected graphs.
