HackerEarth Policemen and thieves problem solution

In this HackerEarth Policemen and thieves problem solution You are given a grid of size N x N that has the following specifications:
  1. Each cell in the grid contains either a policeman or a thief.
  2. A policeman can only catch a thief if both of them are in the same row.
  3. Each policeman can only catch one thief.
  4. A policeman cannot catch a thief who is more than K units away from the policeman.
Write a program to find the maximum number of thieves that can be caught in the grid.
