Given a 6x6 grid with holes at (2,1), (2,3), and (4,5), calculate the number of paths from (0,0) to (5,5).
💡 Hint: Visualize the grid and observe how holes restrict movement.
Design a function in pseudo-code to implement grid path counting using dynamic programming with hole handling. Explain its efficiency.
💡 Hint: Focus on looping through each cell and applying path calculations iteratively.
