ALCATRAZ3 - THE HONEYCOMB MAZE |
You won the lottery tickets to visit the famous Disneyland Hong Kong with the Taarak Mehta ka Ulta Chasma family and Subramaniam Iyer gets stuck in the Honey Comb maze. He has a Phone along with him and no one else to help him out. He calls you and asks for help. Chuck the story getting into the problem now, There are N x M blocks of Honey combs in the maze and you are given a starting point. your task is to help Mr. Iyer find out whether or not he can traverse the maze and return to his original position. The constraint being that a honey comb (Block) once visited cannot be visited again. Also, he has to make a minimum of 'k' number of moves before returning to the starting point. The '.' represent the empty blocks whereas the '*' represent the blocks that can't be visited. from a block (x,y) Iyer can move only to blocks (x-1,y), (x+1,y), (x,y+1), (x,y-1). Help Mr. Iyer return to his original position.
Input
The first line of the input contains the dimensions of the maze (N x M).
Second line of the input contains 'k' as described above.
The third line denotes the coordinates of the starting point (1-n), (1-m).
The next N lines contain the description of the Nth row.
Output
Output "YES" if it's possible.
Else output "NO".
Constraints
1 <= N, M <= 100
Example
Input: 5 5 14 1 2 ...** *...* *.... .*... .*..* Output: YES
Explanation
1,2 → 2,2 → 3,2 → 3,3 → 4,3 → 5,3 → 5,4 → 4,4 → 4,5 → 3,5 → 3,4 → 2,4 → 2,3 → 1,3 → 1,2
14 moves were made. So, it is possible. Also, no blocks were repeated.

AC in first go!!!! Use dfs and flood fill algorithm. Last edit: 2017-08-24 09:21:24 |

see the testcases in http://spojtoolkit.com/, some testcases are special, i got AC after that |

@Sushovan Sen Input is space separated got many WA's because of that and @Rohit Agarwal for k=0 ans will be yes always..!! Last edit: 2017-06-26 01:37:24 |

Is there any polynomial time algorithm to solve this problem. I applied an exponential algorithm using dfs and backtracking and it got accepted. |

For K = 0 , and starting point being '.' then, the output should be YES. In the spoj toolkit the answer is mentioned as NO. What should be the correct output? Last edit: 2017-05-03 15:05:51 |

I moved the problem to the basics section until improving test cases to disallow exponential solutions to get a correct result. |

Are there similar number of spaces available in original input? |

dont know where i am failing on this,,,passing the test cases generated manually but giving WA here |
