Minimum time required to rot all oranges

QUESTION

Given a matrix of dimension m*n (m=3,n=5) where each cell in the matrix can have values 0, 1 or 2 which has the following meaning:\n\n0: Empty cell\n\n1: Cells have fresh oranges\n\n2: Cells have rotten oranges.

“TESTCASE_1”: “2 1 0 2 1\n1 0 1 2 1\n1 0 0 2 1\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\n2”, “TESTCASE_2”: “2 1 0 2 1\n0 0 1 2 1\n1 0 0 2 1\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\nAll oranges cannot rot”, “TESTCASE_3”: “2 0 0 1 2\n1 0 0 2 1\n1 1 1 0 2\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\n4”, “TESTCASE_4”: “2 2 2 1 1\n0 0 0 0 0\n1 1 1 1 1\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\nAll oranges cannot rot”, “TESTCASE_5”: “0\n###—###SEPERATOR—###—\n0

ANSWER

// oranges rotten

// which is (-1, -1)
