Pathfinder in Maze
Start Timer
0:00:00
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

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.
