Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

In a grid from (0, 0) to (5, 5), with blocked paths at (2, 2) and (4, 4), calculate all valid paths without overlapping consideration.

💡 Hint: Make sure to count paths to and from each blocked point carefully.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a larger 10 x 10 grid with obstacles blocking various intersections in a sparse manner, outline an efficient algorithm using dynamic programming that tracks valid paths avoiding each block.

💡 Hint: Focus on building up the table row by row, accounting for blocked points.
