hello @rohit_1906
a)
initialise ur dp array with -1.

b)
image
use >=

why is it necessary to initialize by -1 …why wont ‘0’ work?
and will this dp[1000][1000] = {-1} work?

not this will not work.
use memset or loop .

with 0 , we cannot distinguish between visited and unvisisted state (because 0 is also a valid answer)
