# Instructions

Add the mine counts to a completed Minesweeper board.
Your task is to add the mine counts to empty squares in a completed Minesweeper board.
The board itself is a rectangle composed of squares that are either empty (`' '`) or a mine (`'*'`).

Minesweeper is a popular game where the user has to find the mines using numeric hints that indicate how many mines are directly adjacent (horizontally, vertically, diagonally) to a square.
For each empty square, count the number of mines adjacent to it (horizontally, vertically, diagonally).
If the empty square has no adjacent mines, leave it empty.
Otherwise replace it with the adjacent mines count.

In this exercise you have to create some code that counts the number of mines adjacent to a given empty square and replaces that square with the count.

The board is a rectangle composed of blank space (' ') characters.
A mine is represented by an asterisk (`*`) character.

If a given space has no adjacent mines at all, leave that square blank.

## Examples

For example you may receive a 5 x 4 board like this (empty spaces are represented here with the '·' character for display on screen):
