About Seating Arrangements
Seating arrangement problems place people or objects in a line, circle, row or multiple rows according to positional clues. They require handling adjacency, left and right, facing directions, opposite seats, fixed positions and relative order, with circular arrangements differing because rotation does not create a new arrangement.
