Find if a 2-D array is completely traversed or not by following the cell values

You are given a 2-D array. We have to traverse each and every cell of the given array by following the cell locations then return true else false. The value of each cell is given by (x, y) where (x, y) is also shown next following cell position. Eg. (0, 0) shows starting cell. And ‘null’ shows our final destination after traversing every cell. 



Examples: 

Input : { 0, 1   1, 2   1, 1 
          0, 2   2, 0   2, 1 
          0, 0   1, 0   null }
Output : false

Input : { 0, 1   2, 0 
          null  1, 0
          2, 1   1, 1 }
Output : true

We take a visited array if we visit a cell then make its value true in the visited array so that we can capture the cycle in our grid for next time when we visit it again. And if we find null before completing the loop then it means we didn’t traversed all the cell of given array. 



Implementation:




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// function which tells all cells are visited or not
bool isAllCellTraversed(vector<vector<pair<int,int>>>grid, int n, int m)
{
    bool visited[n][m];
    int total = n*m;
   
    // starting cell values
    int startx = grid[0][0].first;
    int starty = grid[0][0].second;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < total - 2; i++)
    {
 
        // if we get {0,0} before the end of loop
        // then returns false. Because it means we
        // didn't traverse all the cells
        if (grid[startx][starty].first == -1 and
            grid[startx][starty].second == -1)
            return false;
 
        // If found cycle then return false
        if (visited[startx][starty] == true)
            return false;
 
        visited[startx][starty] = true;
        int x = grid[startx][starty].first;
        int y = grid[startx][starty].second;
 
        // Update startx and starty values to next
        // cell values
        startx = x;
        starty = y;
    }
 
    // finally if we reach our goal then returns true
    if (grid[startx][starty].first == -1 and
        grid[startx][starty].second == -1)
        return true;
 
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
  vector<vector<pair<int,int>>> cell(3, vector<pair<int,int>> (2));
  cell[0][0] = {0, 1};
  cell[0][1] = {2, 0};
  cell[1][0] = {-1,-1};
  cell[1][1] = {1, 0};
  cell[2][0] = {2, 1};
  cell[2][1] = {1, 1};
 
  if(!isAllCellTraversed(cell, 3, 2))
    cout << "true";
  else
    cout << "false";
 
  return 0;
}
