Problem Statement
????
You are given a String[] cityMap representing the layout of a city. The city consists of blocks. The first element of cityMap represents the first row of blocks, etc. A 'B' character indicates a location where there is a bus stop. There will be exactly one 'X' character, indicating your location. All other characters will be '.'. You are also given an int walkingDistance, which is the maximum distance you are willing to walk to a bus stop. The distance should be calculated as the number of blocks vertically plus the number of blocks horizontally. Return the number of bus stops that are within walking distance of your current location.
