You are given a 2D matrix grid of size m x n. In one operation, you can change the value of any cell to any non-negative number. You need to perform some operations such that each cell grid[i][j] is:
grid[i][j] == grid[i + 1][j] (if it exists).grid[i][j] != grid[i][j + 1] (if it exists).Return the minimum number of operations needed.
Example 1:
Input: grid = [[1,0,2],[1,0,2]]
Output: 0
Explanation:

All the cells in the matrix already satisfy the properties.
Example 2:
Input: grid = [[1,1,1],[0,0,0]]
Output: 3
Explanation:

The matrix becomes [[1,0,1],[1,0,1]] which satisfies the properties, by doing these 3 operations:
grid[1][0] to 1.grid[0][1] to 0.grid[1][2] to 1.Example 3:
Input: grid = [[1],[2],[3]]
Output: 2
Explanation:

There is a single column. We can change the value to 1 in each cell using 2 operations.
Constraints:
1 <= n, m <= 10000 <= grid[i][j] <= 9
