A programmer is writing a system to locate an empty parking space in a 4 by 4 parking grid.

The code used is shown in Figure 1 and the current state of the grid is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1

for r in range(4):
    for c in range(4):
        if check_space(r, c) == "Empty":
            target_row = r
            target_col = c
