Q2. 
Rat in a Maze Problem Statement
You need to determine all possible paths for a rat starting at position (0, 0) in a square maze to reach its destination at (N-1, N-1). The maze is represented as an N*N ma...read more
Ans. 
Find all possible paths for a rat in a maze to reach its destination, given a matrix representation of the maze.
• Use backtracking to explore all possible paths from the starting position to the destination.

• Keep track of the current path and explore all possible directions at each step.

• Terminate the exploration when reaching the destination or hitting a blocked cell.

• Return the list of valid paths found, sorted in alphabe

Q1. 
Find All Pairs Adding Up to Target
Given an array of integers ARR of length N and an integer Target, your task is to return all pairs of elements such that they add up to the Target.
Input:
The first line ...read more
Ans. 
Given an array of integers and a target, find all pairs of elements that add up to the target.
• Iterate through the array and for each element, check if the target minus the element exists in a hash set.

• If it exists, add the pair to the result. If not, add the element to the hash set.

• Handle cases where the same element is used twice in a pair.

• Return (-1, -1) if no pair is found.
