Unique Paths III

Explore backtracking techniques to solve the Unique Paths III problem, where you navigate a grid from start to finish while visiting every empty cell exactly once. Understand constraints, develop solutions, and implement your approach in a hands-on coding environment to master complex algorithmic challenges.

Statement

You are given a  m×nm \times n  integer array, grid, where each cell, grid[i][j], can have one of the following values:

  • 1 indicates the starting point. There is exactly one such square.

  • 2 marks the ending point. There is exactly one such square.

  • 0 represents empty squares that can be walked over.

  • -1 represents obstacles that cannot be crossed.

Your task is to return the total number of unique four-directional paths from the starting square (1) to the ending square (2), such that every empty square is visited exactly once during the walk.

Constraints:

  • ...
