Max Area of Island

p
"""
Given an two dimensional binary matrix grid. An island is a group of 1's (representing
land) connected 4-directionally (horizontal or vertical.) You may assume all four edges
of the grid are surrounded by water.  The area of an island is the number of cells with
a value 1 in the island. Return the maximum area of an island in a grid. If there is no
island, return 0.

    Explanation:
    We are allowed to move in four directions (horizontal or vertical) so the possible
    in a matrix if we are at x and y position the possible moving are

    Directions are [(x, y+1), (x, y-1), (x+1, y), (x-1, y)] but we need to take care of
    boundary cases as well which are x and y can not be smaller than 0 and greater than
    the number of rows and columns respectively.

    by observation, we can see that
        A island is of area 1
        B island is of area 4
        C island is of area 4
        D island is of area 5
        E island is of area 6 and

    it has 6 unique islands of mentioned areas
