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.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given a grid, where each cell, grid[i][j], can have one of the following values:
1indicates the starting point. There is exactly one such square.2marks the ending point. There is exactly one such square.0represents empty squares that can be walked over.-1represents 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:
