#P2864. [USACO06JAN] The Grove S

[USACO06JAN] The Grove S

Description

The pasture contains a small, contiguous grove of trees that has no 'holes' in the middle of the it. Bessie wonders: how far is it to walk around that grove and get back to my starting position? She's just sure there is a way to do it by going from her start location to successive locations by walking horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and counting each move as a single step. Just looking at it, she doesn't think you could pass 'through' the grove on a tricky diagonal. Your job is to calculate the minimum number of steps she must take.

Happily, Bessie lives on a simple world where the pasture is represented by a grid with RR rows and CC columns (1R50,1C50)(1 \le R \le 50, 1 \le C \le 50). Here's a typical example where . is pasture (which Bessie may traverse), X is the grove of trees, * represents Bessie's start and end position, and + marks one shortest path she can walk to circumnavigate the grove (i.e., the answer):

...+...
..+X+..
.+XXX+.
..+XXX+
..+X..+
...+++*

The path shown is not the only possible shortest path; Bessie might have taken a diagonal step from her start position and achieved a similar length solution. Bessie is happy that she's starting 'outside' the grove instead of in a sort of 'harbor' that could complicate finding the best path.

Input Format

Line 11: Two space-separated integers: RR and CC.

Lines 2R+12 \sim R+1: Line i+1i+1 describes row ii with CC characters (with no spaces between them).

Output Format

Line 11: The single line contains a single integer which is the smallest number of steps required to circumnavigate the grove.
