First, understand that we need to find the order of the largest plus sign that can be placed in a grid with buildings.
Create a grid of size n×n with all cells set to 1, and mark the cells corresponding to buildings as 0.
For each cell, compute the number of consecutive 1's in all four directions (up, down, left, right).
For each cell, the order of the largest plus sign centered at that cell is the minimum of the four values computed in the previous step.
Return the maximum order found among all cells.
Modify the code to implement an alternative approach and test it with the same examples.
Implement a function that solves the largest plus sign finder problem using a different approach than shown above.
Handle the case where all cells are buildings (return 0).
Handle the case where there are no buildings (return n/2 rounded down).
Handle the case where buildings are only at the edges of the grid.
Below is the implementation of the largest plus sign finder:

First, understand that we need to find the order of the largest plus sign that can be placed in a grid with buildings.
Create a grid of size n×n with all cells set to 1, and mark the cells corresponding to buildings as 0.
For each cell, compute the number of consecutive 1's in all four directions (up, down, left, right).
For each cell, the order of the largest plus sign centered at that cell is the minimum of the four values computed in the previous step.
Return the maximum order found among all cells.
Modify the code to implement an alternative approach and test it with the same examples.
Implement a function that solves the largest plus sign finder problem using a different approach than shown above.
Handle the case where all cells are buildings (return 0).
Handle the case where there are no buildings (return n/2 rounded down).
Handle the case where buildings are only at the edges of the grid.
