<p>There is a rectangular brick wall in front of you with <code>n</code> rows of bricks. The <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> row has some number of bricks each of the same height (i.e., one unit) but they can be of different widths. The total width of each row is the same.</p>

<p>Draw a vertical line from the top to the bottom and cross the least bricks. If your line goes through the edge of a brick, then the brick is not considered as crossed. You cannot draw a line just along one of the two vertical edges of the wall, in which case the line will obviously cross no bricks.</p>

<p>Given the 2D array <code>wall</code> that contains the information about the wall, return <em>the minimum number of crossed bricks after drawing such a vertical line</em>.</p>

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>n == wall.length</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= n &lt;= 10<sup>4</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= wall[i].length &lt;= 10<sup>4</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= sum(wall[i].length) &lt;= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>sum(wall[i])</code> is the same for each row <code>i</code>.</li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= wall[i][j] &lt;= 2<sup>31</sup> - 1</code></li>
</ul>

class Solution:
    def leastBricks(self, wall: List[List[int]]) -> int:
        gap_dict = {0:0} #necessary becoz we have to give count 
        for i in range(len(wall)):
            gap = 0
            for j in range(len(wall[i])-1): #why it is compulsory bcoz we dont want last
                gap += wall[i][j]
                gap_dict[gap]= gap_dict.get(gap, 0) + 1

        return len(wall) - max(gap_dict.values())
