mediumBacktrackingPattern: Mixed

Adjacent Color Configuration Solution

Problem Statement

Given a grid of size m x n, assign colors to each cell such that no two adjacent cells have the same color. The grid is represented as a 2D array of integers, where each integer corresponds to a cell. Your task is to determine the number of possible configurations.

Constraints

  • Grid size n is between 2 and 10 (inclusive)
  • Grid size n is even
Time: O(3^n * n) Space: O(3^n * n)
Use a backtracking approach with a time complexity of O(2^(n*m)) to efficiently explore all possible color assignments
