1/11/2022 - 1706. Where Will the Ball Fall
No Plagiarism!8cdpzBwOGeXvFZAFExg2posted on PENANA Q: You have a 2-D grid of size m x n representing a box, and you have n balls. The box is open on the top and bottom sides.8964 copyright protection393PENANAD0wFeG28aw 維尼
Each cell in the box has a diagonal board spanning two corners of the cell that can redirect a ball to the right or to the left.8964 copyright protection393PENANAhV7tMMNee5 維尼
- A board that redirects the ball to the right spans the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner and is represented in the grid as 1.
- A board that redirects the ball to the left spans the top-right corner to the bottom-left corner and is represented in the grid as -1.
We drop one ball at the top of each column of the box. Each ball can get stuck in the box or fall out of the bottom. A ball gets stuck if it hits a "V" shaped pattern between two boards or if a board redirects the ball into either wall of the box.8964 copyright protection393PENANApIwU7Q8E5R 維尼
Return an array answer of size n where answer[i] is the column that the ball falls out of at the bottom after dropping the ball from the ith column at the top, or -1 if the ball gets stuck in the box.8964 copyright protection393PENANAzVT4OldmfB 維尼

Condition 1: The ball reaches a point where it can no longer move ahead. In this case, we will return -1. Condition 2: The ball reaches the last row. In this case, we will return the column in which the ball will drop.8964 copyright protection393PENANA17brCuoiP1 維尼
