🏆 LeetCode 490. The Maze (Premium) 🏆
There's a ball in a maze with:
- Empty spaces (
The ball can roll in any direction:
- Up, down, left, or right 🌐
But here's the catch:
- It won't stop until it hits a wall! 🚧
- Once it stops, it can choose another direction to roll.
### Task 🎯
Given:
- An m x n maze
- The ball's starting position and a destination
Determine:
- Can the ball stop at the destination?
- If yes, return
📝 Assumption: All borders of the maze are walls.

### Examples 🔍
Example 1:
Explanation: One possible path: left ➡️ down ➡️ left ➡️ down ➡️ right ➡️ down ➡️ right 🎯
---
Example 2:
Explanation: The ball can pass through the destination, but it cannot stop there. ❌
---
Example 3:

### Constraints 📏
- Maze Dimensions:
- Cells contain only
- Start and destination are in empty spaces and won’t initially overlap.

share ur answer in the comment section , i will check it
Given a number n, print all primes smaller than or equal to n. It is also given that n is a small number.
Example:
Input : n =10
Output : 2 3 5 7
Input : n = 20
Output: 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19
Example:
Input : n =10
Output : 2 3 5 7
Input : n = 20
Output: 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19

Sieve of Eratosthenes
Given a number n, print all primes smaller than or equal to n. It is also given that n is a small number.
Example:
Input : n =10
Output : 2 3 5 7
Input : n = 20
Output: 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19
The sieve of Eratosthenes is one of the most efficient ways to find all primes smaller than n when n is smaller than 10 million or so.
Following is the algorithm to find all the prime numbers less than or equal to a given integer n by the Eratosthene’s method:
When the algorithm terminates, all the numbers in the list that are not marked are prime.
Explanation with Example:

Problem Denoscription
You are given an array
nums with \( n \) objects colored red, white, or blue. Sort the array in-place so that objects of the same color are adjacent, with the colors in the order red, white, and blue. - Represent the colors using integers:
-
0 → Red -
1 → White -
2 → Blue ⚠️ Note: You must not use the library's sort function.

• Explanation: The string is already a palindrome.
2. Input:
• Output:
• Explanation: Rearranging the characters can form the palindrome
3. Input:
• Output:
• Explanation: No rearrangement can form a palindrome.
4. Input:
• Output:
• Explanation: Rearranging the characters can form the palindrome
5. Input:
• Output:
• Explanation: The string is already a palindrome.
Challenge:
Write a function that takes a string as input and returns

True• Explanation: The string is already a palindrome.
2. Input:
"ivicc"• Output:
True• Explanation: Rearranging the characters can form the palindrome
"civic".3. Input:
"hello"• Output:
False• Explanation: No rearrangement can form a palindrome.
4. Input:
"aabbcc"• Output:
True• Explanation: Rearranging the characters can form the palindrome
"abcba".5. Input:
"racecar"• Output:
True• Explanation: The string is already a palindrome.
Challenge:
Write a function that takes a string as input and returns
