Given a Character matrix as input, the task is to check whether all the enemies are killed or not based on below conditions: 

1. The matrix can contain 3 characters 
X –> Denotes the War area. 
B –> Denotes the bomb. 
E –> Denotes the Enemies.
2. Bomb ‘B’ can blast in only horizontal and vertical directions from one end to another. 
3. If all enemies are killed by the present bombs, print Yes, else print No 
 

Examples:  

Input: matrix =
XXEX
XBXX
XEXX
XXBX 
Output: Yes

Input: matrix =
XXEX
XBXX
XEXX
XXXX
Output: No

Approach: The given problem can be solved by the following approach:  

  1. Get the character Matrix
  2. Traverse to find all bomb indices in the matrix
  3. And store the rows and column in rs and cls array.
  4. After all traversals, check for each enemy if there is a bomb present in that row or column or not.
  5. If any enemy is present in a row or column where there is no bomb, Print NO, else Print Yes.

Implementation: 

C++




// C++ program to kill all enemies
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find Enemies killed or not
int Kill_Enemy(string s[], int row, int col)
{
 
    int rs[row]={0},cls[col]={0};
 
 for(int i=0;i<row;i++){
 
  for(int j=0;j<col;j++){
 
    if(s[i][j]=='B'){
 
        rs[i]++;cls[j]++;
 
       }
 
   }
 
 }
 
 for(int i=0;i<row;i++){
 
  for(int j=0;j<col;j++){
 
    if(s[i][j]=='E'){
 
        if(rs[i]==0&&cls[j]==0)return 0;
 
       }
 
   }
 
 }
 
 return 1;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    // Get the input matrix
    string s[] = { "XXEX",
                   "XBXX",
                   "XEXX",
                   "XXBX" };
 
    // Calculate Rows and columns of the string
    int row = sizeof(s) / sizeof(s[0]),
        col = s[0].length();
 
    // Check if all enemies will be killed or not
    if (Kill_Enemy(s, row, col) == 1)
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;
}
