  • Problem Description

    Mr K has a rectangular land of size m X n. There are marshes in the land where the fence cannot hold. Mr K wants you to find the perimeter of the largest rectangular fence that can be built on this land. 

    Input format

    The first line contains m and n. The next m lines contain n characters each describing the state of the land. ‘x’ (ascii value: 120) if it is a marsh and ‘.’ ( ascii value:46) otherwise.

    Constraints
    2<=m,n<=500 

    Output Format

    Output contains a single integer – the largest perimeter. If the rectangular fence cannot be built, print “”impossible”” (without quotes).
