Day 10: Hoof It
Megathread guidelines
- Keep top level comments as only solutions, if you want to say something other than a solution put it in a new post. (replies to comments can be whatever)
- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

Straightforward depth first search. I found that the only difference for part 2 was to remove the current location from the HashSet of visited locations when the recurive call finished so that it could be visited again in other unique paths.
