# 221     Maximal Square

## 221. [Maximal Square](https://leetcode.com/problems/maximal-square/description/)

## 1. Question

Given a 2D binary matrix filled with 0's and 1's, find the largest square containing only 1's and return its area.

For example, given the following matrix:

```
1 0 1 0 0
1 0 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1
1 0 0 1 0
```

Return 4.

## 2. Implementation

**(1) DP**

```java
class Solution {
    public int maximalSquare(char[][] matrix) {
        if (matrix == null || matrix.length == 0) {
            return 0;
        }

        int m = matrix.length, n = matrix[0].length;
        // dp[i][j] means the edge of square which is at bottom right at (i, j)
        int[][] dp = new int[m][n];
        int maxSize = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
                if (i == 0 || j == 0) {
                    dp[i][j] = matrix[i][j] - '0';
                }
                else if (matrix[i][j] == '1') {
                    dp[i][j] = 1 + Math.min(dp[i - 1][j - 1], Math.min(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1]));
                }
                else {
                    dp[i][j] = 0;
                }

                maxSize = Math.max(maxSize, dp[i][j]);
            }
        }
        return maxSize * maxSize;
    }
}
```
