DSA in Python – Rat in a Maze | Recursion & Backtracking | GFG Problem – Part 81 [Hindi]

5.1K views on YouTube

πŸš€ Welcome to Part 81 of Code & Debug’s DSA in Python Course!

In this lecture, we solve the famous Rat in a Maze problem from GeeksforGeeks, where we explore all possible paths a rat can take from the top-left to the bottom-right corner of a maze using Recursion & Backtracking.

πŸ“š What you’ll learn in this video:
βœ… Understanding the maze structure and movement rules
βœ… Recursive Backtracking to explore all valid paths
βœ… Using visited matrix to prevent cycles
βœ… Sorting output in lexicographic order as per constraints
βœ… Time & space complexity analysis

πŸ’‘ Why is this important?
This problem is a classic example of grid-based backtracking, useful for solving real-world problems like robot pathfinding, AI navigation, and puzzle solving. It’s a must-practice for FAANG interviews and competitive programming.
