LeetCode - flood-fill challenge solution

After reading some coding tips, it mentioned the "flood fill" algorithm. So I decided to find one and try it. Doesn't seems complicated, but this is an "easy" level question.

My code is not the smallest, but I think its easy to read and that's what important on my perspective at least.

class Solution:
    def floodFillIfColor(self, image: List[List[int]], sr: int, sc: int, oldColor: int, newColor: int):
        if not (sr >= 0 and sr < len(image) and sc >= 0 and sc < len(image[0])):
            return

        if image[sr][sc] == newColor:
            return

        if image[sr][sc] != oldColor:
            return

        image[sr][sc] = newColor
        self.floodFillIfColor(image, sr-1, sc, oldColor, newColor) #top
        self.floodFillIfColor(image, sr+1, sc, oldColor, newColor) #bottom
        self.floodFillIfColor(image, sr, sc-1, oldColor, newColor) #left
        self.floodFillIfColor(image, sr, sc+1, oldColor, newColor) #right

        return image

    def floodFill(self, image: List[List[int]], sr: int, sc: int, newColor: int) -> List[List[int]]:
        self.floodFillIfColor(image, sr, sc, image[sr][sc], newColor)
        return image

The function that does the real work is floodFillIfColor.

• It first checks if the point is in the boundries of the grid, if not we exit.
• Then we check if the current position is the same color as the new color, if so we skip the change.
• Then we check if the current color is different from the older color where we started the paint, if so exit out as well.
• if we got here, we update the color
• and call the "floodFillIfColor" for our top, right, bottom and left neighbours.
