Gridland Metro


Problem Statement :


The city of Gridland is represented as an n x m matrix where the rows are numbered from 1 to n and the columns are numbered from 1 to m.

Gridland has a network of train tracks that always run in straight horizontal lines along a row. In other words, the start and end points of a train track are  and , where  represents the row number,  represents the starting column, and  represents the ending column of the train track.

The mayor of Gridland is surveying the city to determine the number of locations where lampposts can be placed. A lamppost can be placed in any cell that is not occupied by a train track.

Given a map of Gridland and its  train tracks, find and print the number of cells where the mayor can place lampposts.

Note: A train track may overlap other train tracks within the same row.


In this case, there are five open cells (red) where lampposts can be placed.

Returns

int: the number of cells where lampposts can be installed
Input Format

A binary tree is a tree which is characterized by one of the following properties: It can be empty (null). It contains a root node only. It contains a root node with a left subtree, a right subtree, or both. These subtrees are also binary trees. In-order traversal is performed as Traverse the left subtree. Visit root.
