This approach uses a priority queue (or deque) to implement a modified Dijkstra's algorithm to explore the grid in a way similar to the 0-1 BFS (Breadth-First Search). Here, obstacles count as 'cost', and we try to find the minimum 'cost' path from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner. We assign a priority based on the number of obstacles removed.

29}This JavaScript solution leverages an array functioning as a deque to efficiently navigate the grid using a breadth-first-inspired approach with path priority mixing. ensures moving preferentially through non-blocked paths while making calculated 'costly' detours as needed, maintaining optimal path progression with minimal obstruction disturbance.
In this approach, we utilize dynamic programming combined with a monotonic queue to solve the problem of reaching the bottom-right corner with minimal obstacle removal. This alternative method involves leveraging the properties of dynamic arrays to store and update minimal removal costs dynamically while using a queue to maintain an effective processing order based on current state values.

This Java solution implements a dynamic programming approach using Java's LinkedList as a deque, allowing it to maintain the necessary order of processing based on current grid dynamics efficiently and effectively transitioning from obstacle-heavy paths to minimally costed options.
