The grid has rows of cells where '.' means empty and '#' means wall. You start at the top-left, end at the bottom-right. Walls block your path completely.
This is different from Red Green Towers. There, you tracked "which level" and "how many red blocks used." Here, you track "which row" and "which column." Both are 2D (two-dimensional) DP, but the dimensions mean completely different things. Understanding this concept will help you solve more complex problems.
