Minimum Distance on Grid

You are given a 2D grid representing obstacles and free spaces. A cell with a 1 is an obstacle, and a cell with 0 is free. Your task is to find the minimum number of moves required to reach from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner of the grid. You can move vertically or horizontally to adjacent cells. If it is impossible to reach the bottom-right corner, return -1. Input format: R C 0/1 ... Where R is the number of rows (1 <= R <= 100) and C is the number of columns (1 <= C <= 100), and the next R lines contain C integers (0 or 1). Output format: Print the minimum number of moves or -1 if it's impossible. Example: Input: 3 3 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 Output: 4
