hello @joshisanjay8467

u are using -1 for two things
a) for unvisited state
b) for states that are already visited but unsolvable.

and ur program is not able to distinguish between them thats why it always solving all those unsolvable states again.

to resolve it use INT_MAX for unsolvable states . and in the end (in coin change function)
if answer returned is INT_MAX then return -1 otherwise return the answer itself
