Prepare chart

We were asked to create the modules for representing each data first and to
continue with the implementation phase.
7) Round : Advanced Coding
A matrix game was given with 5 rules. We were asked to implement each of the
rules separately.
R3 | - - - |
R2 | - - - |
R1 | - - - |
C1 C2 C3
Each of the 9 cells can either be empty or filled with an atom. R3, R2, R1 are the
rays that originate from the left. C1, C2, C3 are the rays that originate from the
bottom of the box.
Input : Position of the atoms and the rays that gets originated from the outside of
the box.

Eg.) 3
31
22
13
3
R3 C1 C3
Output : Print the box.
Rule 1:
A ray that has an atom in its path should print H (Hit) If it does not have any
atoms in its path, the ray should pass to the other side.

The final task was to implement these rules for dynamic matrix size.
Input : no of rows, no of columns
Eg.) 4 4 (row & column)
2 (No of atoms)
4 4 (Position of atom)
2 2 (Position of atom)
2 (No of rays)
R4 C2 (Ray number)
H |- - - X|
|- - - -|
|- X - -|
|- - - -|
H
The final task was very confusing and it had to handle all the cases. There are
chances for a ray to end at the starting position if the number of rows and
columns are more than 5.
