# Rotting Oranges

You are given an `m x n` `grid` where each cell can have one of three values:

* `0` representing an empty cell,
* `1` representing a fresh orange, or
* `2` representing a rotten orange.

Every minute, any fresh orange that is **4-directionally adjacent** to a rotten orange becomes rotten.

Return *the minimum number of minutes that must elapse until no cell has a fresh orange*. If *this is impossible, return* `-1`.

 

**Example 1:**

![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2019/02/16/oranges.png)

<pre><code><strong>Input: grid = [[2,1,1],[1,1,0],[0,1,1]]
</strong><strong>Output: 4
</strong></code></pre>

**Example 2:**

<pre><code><strong>Input: grid = [[2,1,1],[0,1,1],[1,0,1]]
</strong><strong>Output: -1
</strong><strong>Explanation: The orange in the bottom left corner (row 2, column 0) is never rotten, because rotting only happens 4-directionally.
</strong></code></pre>

**Example 3:**

<pre><code><strong>Input: grid = [[0,2]]
</strong><strong>Output: 0
</strong><strong>Explanation: Since there are already no fresh oranges at minute 0, the answer is just 0.
</strong></code></pre>

&#x20;

**Constraints:**

* `m == grid.length`
* `n == grid[i].length`
* `1 <= m, n <= 10`
* `grid[i][j]` is `0`, `1`, or `2`.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-57.gitbook.io/data-structure-and-algorithms/problems/graph/rotting-oranges.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
