Unique Paths

LeetCode #: 62

Difficulty: Medium

Topics: Array, Dynamic Programming.

Problem

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?

Problem

Above is a 7 x 3 grid. How many possible unique paths are there?

Example 1:

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:
1. Right -> Right -> Down
2. Right -> Down -> Right
3. Down -> Right -> Right

Example 2:

Input: m = 7, n = 3
Output: 28

Constraints:

  • 1 <= m, n <= 100
  • It's guaranteed that the answer will be less than or equal to 2 * 10 ^ 9.

Complexity Analysis

Time complexity: O(m * n). We loop through every cell in the m * n grid.

Space complexiy: O(n). We use a dp array to store n numbers.
