Number of Islands

Given a 2d grid map of '1's (land) and '0's (water), count the number of islands. An island is surrounded by water and is formed by connecting adjacent lands horizontally or vertically. You may assume all four edges of the grid are all surrounded by water.

Example 1:

11110
11010
11000
00000

Answer: 1

Example 2:

11000
11000
00100
00011

Answer: 3

 緣由是不少點被重複放到了queue中。Because when a Point is added, the state of this Point should be changed. In your code, one Point may be add in the LinkedList more than once.

So next solution:

modify grid[i][j] firstly (before put into the queue).

 2     class Node{
 3         int x;
 4         int y;

 6             this.x = x;
