Unique Paths III
Understand how to apply backtracking to solve the Unique Paths III problem where you find all paths from start to end on a grid that visit every empty cell exactly once. Learn to navigate obstacles and explore four-directional moves to implement an effective solution.
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:
