The implementation was pretty straightforward but I couldn’t understand how the expected value would work in this case.

I found a solution here: https://github.com/tr0j4n034/SPOJ/blob/master/ADASEA.cpp

The idea was to find all separate longest paths containing ‘#’ in them and just squaring them and adding it to the answer and finally dividing it by all the cells. Can someone tell me how does this work? Why does squaring all the paths work in this case?

This is specifically for IntelliJ as it’s highly recommended for Java but the debugger is not as I want it to be. The functionality seems pretty good but debugging 2D arrays is a pain as I can’t get a complete view of the array at once as opposed to an Eclipse editor. So can anyone suggest a workaround or tell me how you use it for this purpose?
