You are given a N*N maze with a rat placed at maze[0][0]. Find whether any path exist that rat can follow to reach its destination i.e. maze[N-1][N-1]. Rat can move in any direction ( left, right, up and down). Value of every cell in the maze can either be 0 or 1. Cells with value 0 are blocked means rat cannot enter into those cells and those with value 1 are open. Input Format Line 1: Integer N Next N Lines: Each line will contain ith row elements (separated by space) Output Format : The output line contains true if any path exists for the rat to reach its destination otherwise print false. Sample Input 1 : 3 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1
