<p>Given an <code>m x n</code> 2D binary grid <code>grid</code> which represents a map of <code>&#39;1&#39;</code>s (land) and <code>&#39;0&#39;</code>s (water), return <em>the number of islands</em>.</p>

<p>An <strong>island</strong> is surrounded by water and is formed by connecting adjacent lands horizontally or vertically. You may assume all four edges of the grid are all surrounded by water.</p>
