DIY: Max Area of an Island

Explore how to solve the max area of an island problem by analyzing a binary grid to find the largest connected land area. Understand key concepts like adjacency and grid traversal to develop solutions useful for coding interviews, especially in real-world scenarios like cellular coverage.

Problem statement

Given an m x n binary matrix grid containing 0s and 1s, you have to return the maximum contiguous area that is occupied by an island.

Each cell in the grid represents either land or water. A cell with 1 ...
