Island Perimeter

Try to solve the Island Perimeter problem.

Statement

You are given a grid with dimensions row x col, where each cell represents either land (grid[i][j] = 1) or water (grid[i][j] = 0). The grid satisfies the following conditions:

  • Cells are connected only horizontally or vertically (not diagonally).

  • The grid is surrounded by water and contains exactly one island, consisting of one or more connected land cells.

  • The island has no lakes, meaning no water is enclosed within the island that connects to the surrounding water.

  • The grid is rectangular, and each cell is a square with a side length 1.

Your task is to calculate the perimeter of the island.

Constraints:

  • row ==== grid.length

  • col ==== grid[i].length

  • 1≤1\leq row, col ≤100\leq100

  • grid[i][j] is 00 or 11.

  • There is exactly one island in grid.
