Mr K marsh
Problem Statement :
Mr K has a rectangular plot of land which may have marshes where fenceposts cannot be set. He wants you to find the perimeter of the largest rectangular fence that can be built on this land. For example, in the following m*n = 4*4 grid, x marks a marsh and . marks good land. .... ..x. ..x. x... If we number the rows and columns starting with 1, we see that there are two main areas that can be fenced: (1,1)-(3,2) and (1,2)-(4,4). The longest perimeter is 10. Function Description Complete the kMarsh function in the editor below. It should print either an integer or impossible. kMarsh has the following parameter(s): grid: an array of strings that represent the grid Input Format The first line contains two space-separated integers m and n, the grid rows and columns. Each of the next m lines contains n characters each describing the state of the land. 'x' (ascii value: 120) if it is a marsh and '.' ( ascii value:46) otherwise. Constraints 2 <= m,n <= 500 Output Format Output contains a single integer - the largest perimeter. If the rectangular fence cannot be built, print impossible.
