Hexagonal Grid
Problem Statement :
You are given a hexagonal grid consisting of two rows, each row consisting of n cells. The cells of the first row are labelled a1,a2,...,an and the cells of the second row are labelled b1,b2,...,bn. For example, for n=6: Grid Shape (Note that the b is connected with a(i+1).) Your task is to tile this grid with 2*1 tiles that look like the following: Orientations As you can see above, there are three possible orientations in which a tile can be placed. Your goal is to tile the whole grid such that every cell is covered by a tile, and no two tiles occupy the same cell. To add to the woes, certain cells of the hexagonal grid are blackened. No tile must occupy a blackened cell. Is it possible to tile the grid? Here's an example. Suppose we want to tile this grid: Example Blank Then we can do the tiling as follows: Example Tiled Input Format The first line contains a single integer t, the number of test cases. The first line of each test case contains a single integer n denoting the length of the grid. The second line contains a binary string of length n. The ith character describes whether cell ai is blackened. The third line contains a binary string of length n. The ith character describes whether cell bi is blackened. A 0 corresponds to an empty cell and a 1 corresponds to blackened cell. Constraints 1 <= t <= 100 1 <= n <= 10 Output Format For each test case, print YES if there exists at least one way to tile the grid, and NO otherwise.

Queue using Two Stacks
A queue is an abstract data type that maintains the order in which elements were added to it, allowing the oldest elements to be removed from the front and new elements to be added to the rear. This is called a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structure because the first element added to the queue (i.e., the one that has been waiting the longest) is always the first one to be removed. A basic que
