The sole nuclear power plant at Grid City suddenly had a meltdown. Luckily, the plant was designed to be in full automation, so no casualties were ever recorded. However, thanks to radiation, the whole city is inhabitable for close to a century.You are then given a portion of the map of Grid City which, for the purpose of this problem, is rendered as an N x N matrix. As the name suggests, Grid City is made of a grid of cells. Your task is to assign a safety level to each cell in this matrix, according to the following rules:<ol><li>Assign Safety Level 1 to the cell location of the nuclear power plant, given at row R and column C. This signifies that cell (R,C) is least safe.</li><li>Assign Safety Level 2 to the adjacent cells around the power plant, signifying a safer radiation level in this area.</li><li>Continue assigning an increasing number of Safety Levels at succeeding layers of cells surrounding the power plant until you reach the edge of the map.</li></ol>Write a function that accepts three inputs, N, R, and C, and outputs a matrix map of Grid City with Safety Levels.

The sole nuclear power plant at Grid City suddenly had a meltdown. Luckily, the plant was designed to be in full automation, so no casualties were ever recorded. However, thanks to radiation, the whole city is inhabitable for close to a century.

You are then given a portion of the map of Grid City which, for the purpose of this problem, is rendered as an N x N matrix. As the name suggests, Grid City is made of a grid of cells. Your task is to assign a safety level to each cell in this matrix, according to the following rules:

# Assign _Safety Level 1_ to the cell location of the nuclear power plant, given at row R and column C. This signifies that cell (R,C) is least safe.
# Assign _Safety Level 2_ to the adjacent cells around the power plant, signifying a safer radiation level in this area.
# Continue assigning an increasing number of _Safety Levels_ at succeeding layers of cells surrounding the power plant until you reach the edge of the map.

Write a function that accepts three inputs, N, R, and C, and outputs a matrix map of Grid City with _Safety Levels_. Note that you can use any method of populating the matrix as long as it gives the correct answer. You are also ensured that:

* N, R, C are all integers
* 1 <= N <= 10
* 1 <= R <= N and 1 <= C <= N

Here are a few examples:

>> safety_map(5,5,4) % N = 5, R = 5, C = 4
  ans =

5     5     5     5     5
     4     4     4     4     4
     4     3     3     3     3
     4     3     2     2     2
     4     3     2     1     2
>> safety_map(6,2,3) % N = 6, R = 2, C = 3
ans =

3     2     2     2     3     4
     3     2     1     2     3     4
     3     2     2     2     3     4
     3     3     3     3     3     4
     4     4     4     4     4     4
     5     5     5     5     5     5
