create-grid-with-exactly-one-path


You are given two integers m and n, representing the number of rows and columns of a grid.



Construct any m x n grid consisting only of the characters '.' and '#', where:




  • '.' represents a free cell.

  • '#' represents an obstacle cell.



A valid path is a sequence of free cells that:




  • Starts at the top-left cell (0, 0).

  • Ends at the bottom-right cell (m - 1, n - 1).

  • Moves only:

    • Right, from (i, j) to (i, j + 1), or

    • Down, from (i, j) to (i + 1, j).





Return any grid such that there is exactly one valid path from the top-left cell to the bottom-right cell.



 


Example 1:




Input: m = 2, n = 3



Output: ["..#","#.."]



Explanation:





The only valid path is: (0,0) → (0,1) → (1,1) → (1,2)




Example 2:




Input: m = 3, n = 3



Output: ["..#","#..","##."]



Explanation:





The only valid path is: (0,0) → (0,1) → (1,1) → (1,2) → (2,2)




Example 3:




Input: m = 1, n = 4



Output: ["...."]



Explanation:



The only valid path is: (0,0) → (0,1) → (0,2) → (0,3)




 


Constraints:




  • 1 <= m, n <= 25
