On a toroidal square grid (you can wrap around) where each cell indicates one direction (^ > v <) if we pick a cell and start to walk following these directions, we will eventually get stuck in a loop.
We may end up in a different loop, depending on our starting cell.

Not all the cells we encounter constitute our terminal loop: these are said to be tributary to that loop.

Task

Given a square grid configuration, count for each loop \$L_i\$:

  • How many cells is it made up with? \$n_i\$
  • How many tributary cells does it have? \$t_i\$

Input

You choose the set of 4 printable characters or integers you'll use as directions.

  • A square matrix having set elements as entries (can be a string)

Output

  • List of \$(n_i,t_i)\$ for each \$L_i\$

The pairs can be in any order.

Example

input urdrurllruuuulrududllurdu

grid with colored regions
-vivid color: loop
-pale color: tributary
In this configuration there are 3 loops (orange, blue, green) of lengths (2, 2, 6) with (0, 10, 5) tributary cells.

output 6 5 2 10 2 0

Alternative inputs:
    1232124421111421313441231
    [[^,>,v,>,^],[>,<,<,>,^],[^,^,^,<,>],[^,v,^,v,<],[<,^,>,v,^]]

Valid outputs:
    2 10 2 0 6 5
    (2, 10), (6, 5), (2, 0)

Non valid outputs:
    10 2 2 0 6 5
    (0, 2), (10, 2), (6, 5)

This is , so the shortest code wins.

    \$\begingroup\$ I know you've stated "character", but could our inputs be integers? How about allowing pairs (e.g. '^' as (1,0), < as (-1,0), etc.) to? What about complex numbers (probably a useful one here)? \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 13, 2020 at 16:26
  • \$\begingroup\$ @Jonathan Allan The input would be too exploitable and also detrimental to the "easy-to-use" feature... One character should be sufficent to directly using it in the program. I can think (1,2,3,6) so only 2 test are needed (%2 and %3). Are integers implied in "printable characters"? \$\endgroup\$

Takes input as a 2D list from STDIN, where up, right, down, left are encoded as the integers 1, 5, 7, 3 respectively.

For each cell in the grid, the program follows the directions starting from that cell until a loop is found. The loop length is stored in the dictionary N, and the list of tributary cells is stored in the dictionary T. The keys for both dictionaries are the min indices of each loop.

How it works

We map each index to the corresponding prime p:@i.@$:

 2  3  5  7 11
13 17 19 23 29
31 37 41 43 47
53 59 61 67 71
73 79 83 89 97

Then shift this board by the 4 directions ((,-)=0 1)|.]), and calculate the least common multiple between the tile x and the direction x is heading ]*.[{"p..0|:. We do this until the board does not change anymore (…)^:_:

461677248802 62985        20995    3162172937  3162172937
         221   221         4199 2109169348979 91703015173

230838624401  4661 262460353771    3162172937  3162172937

For each unique ~. number we can then count how often it occures and how many other tiles it divides: = …&(1#.,) 0=|. We need the first number and the difference for the result: ([,-~):

…
6  5
2 10
1  5
…
2  0
1  0

We then take only the ones where the first column is greater than 1 (#~1<{."1):

#sum over all loops (length(o))
for(k in 1:sum(!!s))s[k]=sum(!a(!!sweep(K,2,u[k,],'-'),1,sum))
cbind(o,s-o)

Now, I spent too much time on this code already but I fear the parts

I=c()
for(i in 1:n)I=rbind(I,cbind(rep(i,n),1:n))

creating the matrix of all starting coordinates and

p=function(i)i[,1]+n*i[,2]-n-1

switching from the coordinates to a single index could be further code-golfed!
