Given a matrix mat[][] having N rows and M columns, the task is to find the minimum distance between two adjacent rows where the distance between two rows is defined as the sum of all absolute differences between two elements present at the same column in the two rows.
Examples:
Input: mat[][] = {{1, 4, 7, 10}, {2, 5, 8, 11}, {6, 9, 3, 12}}
Output: 4
Explanation: The distance between the first two rows can be calculated as (2-1) + (5-4) + (8-7) + (11-10) = 4. Similarly, the distance between the 2nd and 3rd row can be calculated as (6-2) + (9-5) + (8-3) + (12-11) = 14. Hence, the minimum distance among all adjacent rows is 4.Input: mat[][] = {{1, 25, 81}, {2, 36, 100}, {9, 49, 50}, {16, 64, 25}}
Output : 31
Approach: The given problem is an implementation-based problem that can be solved by iterating through the matrix row-wise and calculating the distances over all pairs of adjacent rows. Maintain the minimum of all the calculated distances in a variable which is the required answer.
Below is the implementation of the above approach :
// C++ program of the above approach. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
// Function to find minimum distance // between two adjacent rows in mat int calcDist( int N, int M, vector<vector< int > > mat)
{ // Stores the required value
int ans = INT_MAX;
// Loop to traverse all the
// pair of rows in mat[][]
for ( int i = 0; i < N - 1; i++) {
// Stores the distance
int dist = 0;
// Loop to calculate
// the distance
for ( int j = 0; j < M; j++) {
dist += abs (mat[i][j] - mat[i + 1][j]);
}
// Update ans
ans = min(ans, dist);
}
// Return Answer
return ans;
} // C++ program of the above approach int main()
{ vector<vector< int > > mat = { { 1, 4, 7, 10 },
{ 2, 5, 8, 11 },
{ 6, 9, 3, 2 } };
cout << calcDist(mat.size(), mat[0].size(), mat);
return 0;

- mat.get(i + 1 ).get(j));
}
// Update ans

}
// Return Answer
return ans;
