    1284 - Minimum Number of Flips to Convert Binary Matrix to Zero Matrix.

    Hard

    Given a m x n binary matrix mat. In one step, you can choose one cell and flip it and all the four neighbors of it if they exist (Flip is changing 1 to 0 and 0 to 1). A pair of cells are called neighbors if they share one edge.

    Return the minimum number of steps required to convert mat to a zero matrix or -1 if you cannot.

    A binary matrix is a matrix with all cells equal to 0 or 1 only.

    A zero matrix is a matrix with all cells equal to 0.

    Example 1:

    Input: mat = [[0,0],[0,1]]

    Output: 3

    Explanation: One possible solution is to flip (1, 0) then (0, 1) and finally (1, 1) as shown.

    Example 2:

    Input: mat = [[0]]

    Output: 0

    Explanation: Given matrix is a zero matrix. We do not need to change it.

    Example 3:

    Input: mat = [[1,0,0],[1,0,0]]

    Output: -1

    Explanation: Given matrix cannot be a zero matrix.

    Constraints:

    • m == mat.length
    • n == mat[i].length
    • 1 <= m, n <= 3
    • mat[i][j] is either 0 or 1.
