You are given heights, a 2D array of size rows x columns, where heights[row][col] represents the height of cell (row, col). You are situated in the top-left cell, (0, 0), and you hope to travel to the bottom-right cell, (rows-1, columns-1) (i.e., 0-indexed). You can move up, down, left, or right, and you wish to find a route that requires the minimum effort.
A route's effort is the maximum absolute difference in heights between two consecutive cells of the route.
Return the minimum effort required to travel from the top-left cell to the bottom-right cell.
Example 1:
Input: heights = [
[1,1,1],
[3,2,4],
[2,5,4]
]
Output: 2Explanation: The route of [1,1,2,4,4] has a maximum absolute difference of 2 in consecutive cells.
Example 2:
Input: heights = [
[1,1,1],
[1,1,2],
[6,5,2]
]
Output: 1Explanation: The route of [1,1,1,1,1,2,2] has a maximum absolute difference of 1 in consecutive cells.
Constraints:
row == heights.lengthcol == heights[i].length1 <= row, col <= 1001 <= heights[i][j].length <= 1,000,000.
