heres my code:

    if (sr == er && sc == ec && maze[sr][sc] == '.') {
        return true; // shows that the maze is solveable because the dot is not an obstacle
    }
    
    if (maze[sr][sc] == '@' || maze[sr][sc] == 'X' || maze[sr][sc] == 'V') {
        return false; // maze is not solveable because of hole, wall, or spot visited in the past
    }
    
    maze[sr][sc] = 'V'; // marks spot as visited once you moved from the spot
    bool pathPresent{};
    
    if (maze[sr + 1][sc] != '@' || maze[sr + 1][sc] != 'X' || maze[sr + 1][sc] != 'V') {
        pathPresent = connectedPath(maze, nRows, nCols, sr + 1, sc, er, ec);
        return true;
    }
    
    if (maze[sr - 1][sc] != '@' || maze[sr - 1][sc] != 'X' || maze[sr - 1][sc] != 'V') {
        pathPresent = connectedPath(maze, nRows, nCols, sr - 1, sc, er, ec);
        return true;
    }
    
    if (maze[sr][sc + 1] != '@' || maze[sr][sc + 1] != 'X' || maze[sr][sc + 1] != 'V') {
        pathPresent = connectedPath(maze, nRows, nCols, sr, sc + 1, er, ec);
        return true;
    }
    
    if (maze[sr][sc - 1] != '@' || maze[sr][sc - 1] != 'X' || maze[sr][sc - 1] != 'V') {
        pathPresent = connectedPath(maze, nRows, nCols, sr, sc - 1, er, ec);
        return true;
    }
    
    return false;
}
