Please use a different code to solve this question
Given an string representing a 2D array of integers that contains the locations of the two skyscrapers, find the shortest possible path that connects the two skyscrapers and return the length of that path. A skyscraper is defined to be a 4-directionally connected group i.e. North-South-East-West, no diagonals), and can consist of multiple "parts" such that
the initial size of the skyscraper is not one single cell. 1's represent a cell that is part of the skyscraper, and 0's represent cells that are empty air. You will join the path to the other skyscraper by adding planks to spots containing 0's where each cell represents one unit of distance. You can only add planks to spots connected to either a skyscraper or another 2x4 (i.e. you cannot "jump" over a gap), and you can only do so 4-directionally. Return the smallest number of planks needed to make the crossing.
Case 1: Input: {[1,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0], [0,1,1,0],[0,0,1,1]}
Output: 2
Case 2: Input: {[1,1,0,0,0],[1,0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,1],[0,0,1,1,1],[0,1,1,0,0]}
Output: 3
Case 3: Input: {[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1],[0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,0], [0,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],[1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0],
[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0]}
Output: 4

- PYTHON porgram - Let "temperature" be a 2D matrix containing the temperature every hour for every day of a year ---- size = (365, 24). Write the syntax for printing the warmest temperature each day to screen (hint, use numpy's amax function)arrow_forwardWrite a function that takes in an array of integers and returns the integers that are either palindromes or almost-palindromes. An almost-palindrome is any integer that can be rearranged to form a palindrome. For example, the numbers 677 and 338 are both almost-palindromes, since they can be rearranged to form 767 and 383, respectively. Examples palindromeSieve ([443, 12, 639, 121, 3232]) [443, 121, 3232] // Since 443 => 434; 121 is a palindrome; 3232 => 2332 or 3223 palindromeSieve([5, 55, 6655, 8787]) → [5, 55, 6655, 8787] // Single-digit numbers are automatically palindromes. palindromeSieve ([897, 89, 23, 54, 6197, 53342]) - []arrow_forwardAn array is positive dominant if it contains strictly more unique positive values than unique negative values.

- Input a list of employee names and salaries and store them in parallel arrays. End the input with a sentinel value. The salaries should be floating point numbers Salaries should be input in even hundreds. For example, a salary of 36,510 should be input as 36.5 and a salary of 69,030 should be entered as 69.0. Find the average of all the salaries of the employees. Then find the names and salaries of any employee who's salary is within 5,000 of the average. So if the average is 30,000 and an employee earns 33,000, his/her name would be found.
