ALWAYS TURN LEFT
Problem You find yourself standing outside of a perfect maze. A maze is defined as "perfect" if it meets the following conditions:
You decide to solve the perfect maze using the "always turn left" algorithm, which states that you take the leftmost fork at every opportunity. If you hit a dead end, you turn right twice (180 degrees clockwise) and continue. (If you were to stick out your left arm and touch the wall while following this algorithm, you'd solve the maze without ever breaking contact with the wall.) Once you finish the maze, you decide to go the extra step and solve it again (still always turning left), but starting at the exit and finishing at the entrance.
The path you take
through the maze can be described with three characters: 'W' means
to walk forward into the next room, 'L' means to turn left (or
counterclockwise) 90 degrees, and 'R' means to turn right (or
clockwise) 90 degrees. You begin outside the maze, immediately
adjacent to the entrance, facing the maze. You finish when you have
stepped outside the maze through the exit. For example, if the
entrance is on the north and the exit is on the west, your path
through the following maze would be
Input The first line of input gives the number of cases, N. N test cases follow. Each case is a line formatted as entrance_to_exit exit_to_entrance
All paths will be at least two characters long, consist only of the characters 'W', 'L', and 'R', and begin and end with 'W'.
Output For each test case, output one line containing "Case #x:" by itself. The next R lines give a description of the R by C maze. There should be C characters in each line, representing which directions it is possible to walk from that room. Refer to the following legend:
