Final Answer:
This problem, test cases need to be verified there are multiple paths possible for some test cases and they need to be removed. i can prove that based on my submissions. If i change the ordering of DFS it gets accepted.
correct submission:2077628
wrong submission: 2077578
Please have a look whoever can :slight_smile: because i can not…

but one of the mistake is

        if(rec(i1,j1))
        for(int i=0;i<m;cout<<endl,i++)
            for(int j=0;j<n;vis[i][j]=0,j++)
                if(vis[i][j])
                    cout<<c[i][j];
                else
                    cout<<'-';
    else
        cout<<"The path doesn't exist."<<endl;

here vis[i][j] = 0 will not execute if there is no path
in which case vis[i1][j1] = 1 in the subsequent test cases

nope…that is not the case!!!
cause if no path is found…as the fxn returns it will make vis[i][j]=0.

still i tried re-initializing the array to 0…but WA!!

yup it makes vis[i][j]=0;
but not vis[i1][j1] =0 which you are doing in your main so its the position s which will not be reset
i agree it still gives WA … but for the other one you can test yourself once you get “no path” as answer look at ur vis array

ya…saw that now that vis[i1][j1] remains 1…thanks for that…:slight_smile:

now m trying to find some other small bug like this 1…!!!

thanks again…:slight_smile:

thanks a lot…changed the dfs ordering…and voila!!!
thanks…:slight_smile:

Just guess the difference between these two codes :

@bit_cracker007…1 reason is that the ip cases are not upto the mark!!!

13

check if ur dfs is following this order…http://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/2077664

as far as i understand…it is following the same order!!!

14

also check the punctuation of the path doesn’t exist as the >>’<< symbol was ambiguous during the contest!!!

15

@kunal361 : Yes, it is following the same order. There’s a bug I think.
@aashish_iitm : Can you figure out what’s wrong in my code ? :slight_smile:
