It was a LeetCode hard-level problem that required implementing a Breadth-First Search (BFS) algorithm to efficiently explore all possible paths in a graph-like structure. The challenge involved managing multiple edge cases, optimizing traversal to avoid redundant visits, and ensuring that each node was processed in the correct order to achieve the shortest path solution. It tested not only my understanding of data structures like queues and hash sets but also my ability to write clean, efficient code under complex logical constraints.
