Problem1: Find object in a grid

Given a char grid (o represents an empty cell and x represents a target object) and an API getResponse which would give you a response w.r.t. to your previous position. Write a program to find the object. You can move to any position.

enum Response { HOTTER, // Moving closer to target COLDER, // Moving farther from target SAME, // Same distance from the target as your previous guess EXACT; // Reached destination }

// Throws an error if 'row' or 'col' is out of bounds public Response getResponse(int row, int col) { // black box } Example 1:

Input: [['o', 'o', 'o'], ['o', 'o', 'o'], ['x', 'o', 'o']]

Output: [2, 0] Example 2:

Input: [['o', 'o', 'o', 'o', 'o'], ['o', 'o', 'o', 'o', 'o'], ['o', 'o', 'o', 'o', 'o'], ['o', 'o', 'o', 'o', 'o'], ['o', 'o', 'o', 'x', 'o'], ['o', 'o', 'o', 'o', 'o']]

Output: [4, 3] Assumptions:

There is always one and only one object. If it's not the target object the 1st call would always give HOTTER as result, ortherwise EXACT.
