public class Solution extends java.lang.Object
752 - Open the Lock.

Medium

You have a lock in front of you with 4 circular wheels. Each wheel has 10 slots: '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'. The wheels can rotate freely and wrap around: for example we can turn '9' to be '0', or '0' to be '9'. Each move consists of turning one wheel one slot.

The lock initially starts at '0000', a string representing the state of the 4 wheels.

You are given a list of deadends dead ends, meaning if the lock displays any of these codes, the wheels of the lock will stop turning and you will be unable to open it.

Given a target representing the value of the wheels that will unlock the lock, return the minimum total number of turns required to open the lock, or -1 if it is impossible.

Example 1:

Input: deadends = [โ€œ0201โ€,โ€œ0101โ€,โ€œ0102โ€,โ€œ1212โ€,โ€œ2002โ€], target = โ€œ0202โ€

Output: 6

Explanation:

A sequence of valid moves would be โ€œ0000โ€ -> โ€œ1000โ€ -> โ€œ1100โ€ -> โ€œ1200โ€ -> โ€œ1201โ€ -> โ€œ1202โ€ -> โ€œ0202โ€.

Note that a sequence like โ€œ0000โ€ -> โ€œ0001โ€ -> โ€œ0002โ€ -> โ€œ0102โ€ -> โ€œ0202โ€ would be invalid,

because the wheels of the lock become stuck after the display becomes the dead end โ€œ0102โ€.

Example 2:

Input: deadends = [โ€œ8888โ€], target = โ€œ0009โ€

Output: 1

Explanation: We can turn the last wheel in reverse to move from โ€œ0000โ€ -> โ€œ0009โ€.

Example 3:

Input: deadends = [โ€œ8887โ€,โ€œ8889โ€,โ€œ8878โ€,โ€œ8898โ€,โ€œ8788โ€,โ€œ8988โ€,โ€œ7888โ€,โ€œ9888โ€], target = โ€œ8888โ€

Output: -1

Explanation: We cannot reach the target without getting stuck.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= deadends.length <= 500
  • deadends[i].length == 4
  • target.length == 4
  • target will not be in the list deadends.
  • target and deadends[i] consist of digits only.
