Your task is to check the volume of water in a pool. Your have to create a program that takes in a input that is represented by an 10 by 10 grid of integers, with heights ranging from A=1 to Z=26 from the latin alphabet. Find the volume of water each pool can hold.

You have to output the volume of water that the pool can hold. Outside the pool the height is 0, so no water is held on the cells at the edge of the pool. The water does not leak diagonally.

The input is in the form of a 2D list of integers. The one with letters is just a reference (You can input it as letters if you want to)

Worked Example:

For the 1st test case: There is only 1 box and that is 10 lines of 26 or A's, and since this a pool, the A, represents the bottom of the pool, and the Z is the top, so 26-1=25 is the depth of the entire pool. Take 25*8*8=1600, as the Z is the wall so only a 8*8 area is occupied.

Test Case 3 has a R in the outer row of X, so do take note the water level cannot go past this

Test Case 4:

The lowest wall is Q, so we take 17-1=16 as the highest water level for maximum height of A=1. We take 16*4*8=512, next there is a Z wall, BUT there is an A breaking through the wall, which is connecting all the E to the wall of height 16, so the max height of the water level of E is 17-5=12, and take 12*3*8=288. Finally, we take 512+12+288=816(12 comes from the extra A inside the Z wall)

Tips:

Think of this challenge as water held in many different boxes inside a large box

Others:

  • You may assume that all inputs are from the alphabet and that they are all uppercase
  • You may assume that the outer row of alphabets do not always have the highest height, and can all have different heights
  • The outer row MUST have a higher level than the 2nd outermost row due to the rule of no overflowing
  • Water level cannot be higher than the highest "wall"

Scoring

This is code-golf, so shortest code wins!

Try it online! Input is a list of lists of numbers from 1 to 26 inclusive.

For each possible water level from B (2) to Z (26) this function first fills the pool to that height, then drains off any water touching the edge. K is the set of tentatively filled cells and B that of "burned" cells (since it implements a flood fill).

Read in the pool, but add a border of zero depth.

≔EυEιφθ

Try to fill the pool to a height of 1000.

≔⟦E³¦⁰⟧ηFη«

Begin a breadth-first search of the pool starting at the top left corner.

≔⊟ιδ≔⊟ιε

Get the next co-ordinates to check.

≔⌈⟦⊟ι§§υδε⟧ζ

Get the height of the neighbouring water level that triggered this search, but limit it to the height of the cell.

¿‹ζ§§θδε«

If this is less than the current height of the water, then:

§≔§θδεζ

Update the water height.

F²F²

Loop over the neighbouring cells.

⊞ηE⟦ζεδ⟧⁺μ∧⁼κ⊖ν⊖⊗λ

Add them to the search list of cells to check.

»»I⁻ΣEθΣιΣEυΣι

Subtract the heights of cells from the heights of the water and output the total.

tried using the flood-fill algorithm to determine what squares on each layer should be filled. If the flood-fill ever reaches the outer edge, that's where the summation stops. I had a much shorter version, but it failed on test case 3 because the lowest outer wall is technically blocked off entirely, raising the effective maximum water level.

Reduce the water level of each box that has water and its level is above one of its neighbours. Repeat until there are no changes to the water level.
