+<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/number-of-laser-beams-in-a-bank/">2125. Number of Laser Beams in a Bank</a></h2><h3>Medium</h3><hr><div><p>Anti-theft security devices are activated inside a bank. You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> binary string array <code>bank</code> representing the floor plan of the bank, which is an <code>m x n</code> 2D matrix. <code>bank[i]</code> represents the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> row, consisting of <code>'0'</code>s and <code>'1'</code>s. <code>'0'</code> means the cell is empty, while<code>'1'</code> means the cell has a security device.</p>
+
+<p>There is <strong>one</strong> laser beam between any <strong>two</strong> security devices <strong>if both</strong> conditions are met:</p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>The two devices are located on two <strong>different rows</strong>: <code>r<sub>1</sub></code> and <code>r<sub>2</sub></code>, where <code>r<sub>1</sub> &lt; r<sub>2</sub></code>.</li>
+	<li>For <strong>each</strong> row <code>i</code> where <code>r<sub>1</sub> &lt; i &lt; r<sub>2</sub></code>, there are <strong>no security devices</strong> in the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> row.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Laser beams are independent, i.e., one beam does not interfere nor join with another.</p>
+
+<p>Return <em>the total number of laser beams in the bank</em>.</p>

+<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/12/24/laser1.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 368px;">
+<pre><strong>Input:</strong> bank = ["011001","000000","010100","001000"]
+<strong>Output:</strong> 8
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> Between each of the following device pairs, there is one beam. In total, there are 8 beams:
+ * bank[0][1] -- bank[2][1]
+ * bank[0][1] -- bank[2][3]
+ * bank[0][2] -- bank[2][1]
+ * bank[0][2] -- bank[2][3]
+ * bank[0][5] -- bank[2][1]
+ * bank[0][5] -- bank[2][3]
+ * bank[2][1] -- bank[3][2]
+ * bank[2][3] -- bank[3][2]
+Note that there is no beam between any device on the 0<sup>th</sup> row with any on the 3<sup>rd</sup> row.
+This is because the 2<sup>nd</sup> row contains security devices, which breaks the second condition.

+<img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2021/12/24/laser2.jpg" style="width: 244px; height: 325px;">
+<pre><strong>Input:</strong> bank = ["000","111","000"]
+<strong>Output:</strong> 0
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> There does not exist two devices located on two different rows.
