#K14836. Maximum Path Length in a Grid
Maximum Path Length in a Grid
Maximum Path Length in a Grid
You are given T test cases. Each test case consists of a grid with dimensions N and M. In each grid, you need to compute the maximum path length defined by the formula:
[ L = \min(N, M) - 1 ]
For each test case, output the computed maximum path length. The challenge is to process multiple test cases efficiently.
Note: Make sure your solution reads input from stdin
and writes output to stdout
.
inputFormat
The first line contains an integer T, the number of test cases.
Each of the next T lines contains two space-separated integers, N and M, which represent the dimensions of the grid.
Input Format:
T N1 M1 N2 M2 ... NT MT
outputFormat
Output a single line with T space-separated integers. Each integer corresponds to the maximum path length for the respective test case.
