Interview Questions (1)
Rotting Oranges Problem
Given a 2D grid representing a box of oranges, each cell can be in one of three states: 0 empty, 1 fresh orange, or 2 rotten orange. Every minute, any fresh orange that is adjacent (up, down, left, right) to a rotten orange becomes rotten. Return the minimum number of minutes that must elapse until no fresh orange remains. If this is impossible, return -1.
