Computer Science

There is an n × n grid of squares. Each square is either special, or has a positive integer cost
assigned to it. No square on the border of the grid is special.
A set of squares S is said to be good if it does not contain any special squares and, starting from
any special square, you cannot reach a square on the border of the grid by performing up, down,
left and right moves without entering a cell belonging to S.
