Given a 2D grid, each cell is either a wall'W', an enemy'E'or empty'0'(the number zero), return the maximum enemies you can kill using one bomb.
The bomb kills all the enemies in the same row and column from the planted point until it hits the wall since the wall is too strong to be destroyed.
Note that you can only put the bomb at an empty cell.
Example:
For the given grid
0 E 0 0
E 0 W E
0 E 0 0
return 3. (Placing a bomb at (1,1) kills 3 enemies)

(1) DP Brute Force
class Solution {
public int maxKilledEnemies(char[][] grid) {
if (grid == null || grid.length == 0 || grid[0].length == 0) {
return 0;
}
int m = grid.length, n = grid[0].length;
int[][] table = new int[m][n];
int res = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
if (grid[i][j] == '0') {
table[i][j] += getEnemies(i, j, grid, true);
table[i][j] += getEnemies(i, j, grid, false);
res = Math.max(res, table[i][j]);
}
}
}
return res;
}
public int getEnemies(int row, int col, char[][] grid, boolean isRow) {
int enemies = 0;
int i = row;
int j = col;
if (isRow) {
while (j < grid[0].length && grid[row][j] != 'W') {
if (grid[row][j] == 'E') {
++enemies;
}
++j;
}
j = col;
while (j >= 0 && grid[row][j] != 'W') {
if (grid[row][j] == 'E') {
++enemies;
}
--j;
}
}
else {
while (i < grid.length && grid[i][col] != 'W') {
if (grid[i][col] == 'E') {
++enemies;
}
++i;
}
i = row;
while (i >= 0 && grid[i][col] != 'W') {

++enemies;
}
--i;

}
return enemies;
