Just wanted to share my latest LeetCode challenge that really gave me a run for my money - Problem 3459: Length of Longest V-Shaped Diagonal Segment. It's a tough one, but I couldn't resist diving in because who doesn't love a good dynamic programming challenge? The problem is set on a binary grid filled with zeros and ones, and the goal is to find the longest V-shaped diagonal segment starting from a cell with value 1. The path moves diagonally down or up left or right once, and then must make a 90° turn at some point. I won't bore you with all the technical details (you can check out the tags if you're into that sort of thing), but let me tell you, this one definitely took some thinking! After a few hours, I finally managed to crack it and even became part of the top 1% on LeetCode. Pretty cool, right? So my question for the community is - how did you guys approach this problem? And do you have any tips for handling such complex paths in dynamic programming challenges? Let's hear your thoughts! Happy coding and see you around the grid! ✨
