LeetCode: Flood Fill

Hello,

Here’s my solution for the flood fill problem, found on LeetCode.

If you want me to write about certain topics please let me know in the comments, thank you!

Link to the problem:

"""
An image is represented by a 2-D array of integers, each integer representing the pixel
value of the image (from 0 to 65535).

Given a coordinate (sr, sc) representing the starting pixel (row and column) of the flood fill,
and a pixel value newColor, "flood fill" the image.

To perform a "flood fill", consider the starting pixel, plus any pixels connected 4-directionally
to the starting pixel of the same color as the starting pixel, plus any pixels connected 4-directionally
to those pixels (also with the same color as the starting pixel), and so on. Replace the color of all
of the aforementioned pixels with the newColor.

At the end, return the modified image.
