    789 - Escape The Ghosts\. Medium You are playing a simplified PAC-MAN game on an infinite 2-D grid. You start at the point `[0, 0]`, and you are given a destination point target = [xtarget, ytarget] that you are trying to get to. There are several ghosts on the map with their starting positions given as a 2D array `ghosts`, where ghosts[i] = [xi, yi] represents the starting position of the ith ghost. All inputs are **integral coordinates**. Each turn, you and all the ghosts may independently choose to either **move 1 unit** in any of the four cardinal directions: north, east, south, or west, or **stay still**. All actions happen **simultaneously**. You escape if and only if you can reach the target **before** any ghost reaches you. If you reach any square (including the target) at the **same time** as a ghost, it **does not** count as an escape. Return `true` _if it is possible to escape regardless of how the ghosts move, otherwise return_ `false`_._ **Example 1:** **Input:** ghosts = \[\[1,0],[0,3]], target = [0,1] **Output:** true **Explanation:** You can reach the destination (0, 1) after 1 turn, while the ghosts located at (1, 0) and (0, 3) cannot catch up with you. **Example 2:** **Input:** ghosts = \[\[1,0]], target = [2,0] **Output:** false **Explanation:** You need to reach the destination (2, 0), but the ghost at (1, 0) lies between you and the destination. **Example 3:** **Input:** ghosts = \[\[2,0]], target = [1,0] **Output:** false **Explanation:** The ghost can reach the target at the same time as you. **Constraints:** * `1 <= ghosts.length <= 100` * `ghosts[i].length == 2` * -104 <= xi, yi <= 104 * There can be **multiple ghosts** in the same location. * `target.length == 2` * -104 <= xtarget, ytarget <= 104
