Tip of the day
Use the REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) to test your code interactively, and practice writing concise, readable expressions to harness Scala’s powerful syntax effectively.
News
In 2024, universities abroad, like Dublin City University, have introduced cutting-edge programming courses, including Computer Engineering programs focusing on AI and machine learning.

Our Python homework help solvers have written a program that can solve a maze, using depth-first search. The maze consists of a series of edges, and a start and end node. There should be multiple test cases to test the solver.
