Solution: Number of Distinct Islands

Understand how to identify and count distinct islands in a binary matrix using depth-first search and hash maps. This lesson teaches you to explore connected land cells, normalize their positions relative to the starting cell, and store unique island shapes for accurate counting. By the end, you will master the algorithm's time and space complexity considerations and implement it in C++ effectively.

Statement

Given an m x n binary matrix where 11 represents land and 00 represents water. An island is a group of connected 1s1s ...
