<p>You are given an <code>m x n</code> matrix <code>board</code> containing <strong>letters</strong> <code>&#39;X&#39;</code> and <code>&#39;O&#39;</code>, <strong>capture regions</strong> that are <strong>surrounded</strong>:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Connect</strong>: A cell is connected to adjacent cells horizontally or vertically.</li>
	<li><strong>Region</strong>: To form a region <strong>connect every</strong> <code>&#39;O&#39;</code> cell.</li>
	<li><strong>Surround</strong>: The region is surrounded with <code>&#39;X&#39;</code> cells if you can <strong>connect the region </strong>with <code>&#39;X&#39;</code> cells and none of the region cells are on the edge of the <code>board</code>.</li>
</ul>

<p>A <strong>surrounded region is captured</strong> by replacing all <code>&#39;O&#39;</code>s with <code>&#39;X&#39;</code>s in the input matrix <code>board</code>.</p>

<p>In the above diagram, the bottom region is not captured because it is on the edge of the board and cannot be surrounded.</p>
