Largest connected region

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~25 min

Given an m x n grid of integers, a region is a maximal group of 4-directionally connected cells that all share the same value. Return the size (number of cells) of the largest region in the grid. The grid has at least one cell. Values can be any integers including negatives.

Implement
largest_region(grid: list[list[int]]) → int
Examples
in[[[1,1,2],[1,2,2],[3,3,2]]]out4
What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
