HackerEarth Final Destination problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202413 February 2026

In this HackerEarth Final Destination problem solution, Bob and Khatu are stuck in a matrix. The command center sent them a string that decodes to their final destination. Since Bob and Khatu are not good at problem-solving help them to figure out their final destination.

They are initially at (0, 0). The string contains L, R, U, D denoting left, right, up, and down. In each command, they will traverse 1 unit distance in the respective direction. For example, if they are at (2, 0) and the command is they will go to (1, 0).
