0062 - Unique Paths
A robot is located at the top-left corner of a m x n grid (marked 'Start' in the diagram below).
The robot can only move either down or right at any point in time. The robot is trying to reach the bottom-right corner of the grid (marked 'Finish' in the diagram below).
How many possible unique paths are there?
Examples
Input: m = 3, n = 7 Output: 28
Input: m = 3, n = 2 Output: 3 Explanation: From the top-left corner, there are a total of 3 ways to reach the bottom-right corner:
Right -> Down -> Down
Down -> Down -> Right
Down -> Right -> Down
Input: m = 7, n = 3 Output: 28
Input: m = 3, n = 3 Output: 6
Constraints
1 <= m, n <= 100
It's guaranteed that the answer will be less than or equal to 2 * 109
Java Solution (Dynammic Programming)
class Solution {
public int uniquePaths(int m, int n) {
int[][] d = new int[m][n];
for(int[] arr : d) {
Arrays.fill(arr, 1);
}
for(int col = 1; col < m; col++) {
for(int row = 1; row < n; row++) {
d[col][row] = d[col - 1][row] + d[col][row - 1];
}
}
return d[m - 1][n - 1];
}
}
