1631 - Path With Minimum Effort\. Medium You are a hiker preparing for an upcoming hike. You are given `heights`, a 2D array of size `rows x columns`, where `heights[row][col]` represents the height of cell `(row, col)`. You are situated in the top-left cell, `(0, 0)`, and you hope to travel to the bottom-right cell, `(rows-1, columns-1)` (i.e., **0-indexed** ). You can move **up** , **down** , **left** , or **right** , and you wish to find a route that requires the minimum **effort**. A route's **effort** is the **maximum absolute difference** in heights between two consecutive cells of the route. Return _the minimum **effort** required to travel from the top-left cell to the bottom-right cell._ **Example 1:** ![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/10/04/ex1.png) **Input:** heights = \[\[1,2,2],[3,8,2],[5,3,5]] **Output:** 2 **Explanation:** The route of [1,3,5,3,5] has a maximum absolute difference of 2 in consecutive cells. This is better than the route of [1,2,2,2,5], where the maximum absolute difference is 3. **Example 2:** ![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/10/04/ex2.png) **Input:** heights = \[\[1,2,3],[3,8,4],[5,3,5]] **Output:** 1 **Explanation:** The route of [1,2,3,4,5] has a maximum absolute difference of 1 in consecutive cells, which is better than route [1,3,5,3,5]. **Example 3:** ![](https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/10/04/ex3.png) **Input:** heights = \[\[1,2,1,1,1],[1,2,1,2,1],[1,2,1,2,1],[1,2,1,2,1],[1,1,1,2,1]] **Output:** 0 **Explanation:** This route does not require any effort. **Constraints:** * `rows == heights.length` * `columns == heights[i].length` * `1 <= rows, columns <= 100` * 1 <= heights[i][j] <= 106
