Whats wrong with my 2D map

https://code.sololearn.com/cW6KJwV5ZnS1/?ref=app Task description: You're given a representation of a 5x5 2D map, and if you can only move left, right, up, or down, determine how many moves you would have to make to get between two points on the map. Task: Determine the total number of moves that are needed between two points on a map. The points that you move between are marked with a P and the spaces in between are marked with X. Input Format: A string that represents the 2D space starting at the top left. Each level from top to bottom is separated by a comma. Output Format: An integer that represents the total number of moves that you had to make. Sample Input: XPXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXPX,XXXXX Sample Output: 5

I made the examples, input and output focus on the 2nd test Case XPXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXPX,XXXXX # Ex. (Output: 5) XXXXX,XXXXP,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXPX # Test (Output: 4) PPXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX # Task Case 1 (Output: 1) PXXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXXP # Task Case 2 (Output: 8)

Yeah, I had to add abs() function to count the distance only in case the addition leads to a negative number.

here is the solution. and this code has time complexityO(n): t = input() d = len(t.split(',')) nt = "".join(t.split(',')) x = nt.find('p') y = nt.rfind('p') q = y//d r = y%d a,b = x%d, x//d c,d = y%d, y//d p = abs(a-c) + abs(b-d) print(p)
