HackerEarth Grid problem solution

In this HackerEarth Grid problem solution You are given a grid A of size N X M, two integers (Si,Sj) and Q tasks. Each task contains two integers, (Di,Dj). Each cell in the grid is either empty cells denoted by O (Capital English character ‘o’) or occupied cells denoted by *. Initially, you are at (Si,Sj). Find the minimum number of steps in which you have to take to reach (Di,Dj) from (Si,Sj) without traversing the occupied cells.

In a single step, you can move from any cell (i,j) to the 4 neighboring cells i.e. (i-1,j), (i+1,j), (i,j-1) and (i,j +1) provided these cells are inside the grid A.
