Let’s say you are given a maze of cells denoted by (x, y), where ‘x’ and ‘y’ represent the distances from the topmost starting cell st = (x0, y0). Walls within the maze are denoted by 1, while free cells are represented by 0.

Return a boolean stating if there is a path from the starting cell st to the target cell tg, which is marked by 2 in the maze.

Hint: You don’t have to find the shortest path through it’s advised to think about it.

Example 1:

There is a possible path from start st point to target tg as

Input:

maze_input =[
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],

            ] 

st_input = (3,4)

Output:

search_maze(st_input,maze_input) -> True

Example 2:

In this example, there is no path from start cell st to target cell tg, so we return an empty list.

Input:

maze_input =[
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
            [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
