Approach # (Sorting)

  1. Initialize two lists, rows and cols, to store the x and y coordinates of homes respectively.
  2. Iterate over each cell in the grid, and for each home (cell with value 1), add its x-coordinate to rows and y-coordinate to cols.
  3. Sort both rows and cols.
  4. Find the median of rows and cols. If the number of elements is odd, the median is the middle element. If even, it can be any of the two middle elements.
  5. Calculate the total Manhattan distance by summing up the distances of all homes to the median x-coordinate and median y-coordinate.
  6. Return the total distance.
