Rotting Oranges is a popular LeetCode problem asked by Amazon and Microsoft. For this problem, we are given an integer matrix containing only 0's, 1's, and 2's representing an empty cell, a fresh orange, and a rotten orange respectively. The intuition to solve this problem with BFS is that it mentions a grid as input, finding a minimum, and having very small constraints. Solving this problem with a breadth first search leads is the most optimal approach using a queue and directional arrays.
