        out.println(max);
        System.out.println(grid);
        out.close();
        

    }

}

This fails a few test cases and I am not sure why. PLease let me know if you find anything!

While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If your code is long, or you have multiple files to share, consider posting it on sites like https://pastebin.com/ and share the link instead, that is easier to browse for helpers.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

[slender igloo]

See if it is what you expect

Ok

I forgot to print -1

😭

if he never visits a spot

thats why you have to read the instructions 💀

ty!
