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?
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
.
題意:機器人從左上角走到右下角,每次只能夠向右或下移動一格,求最終有多少種走法。
思路1:排列組合。無論如何都要走 m + n - 2
步,每一條路線必然有 m - 1
步走豎向,n - 1
步走橫向。因此,有 種走法。
不過計算組合數/排列數有點煩,很容易溢出。這裏不這樣寫。
思路2:動態規劃。這個題很容易得到狀態轉移方程,dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] + dp[i][j - 1]
,其中 dp[i][j]
是走到 i,j
位置的走法總數。dp[1][1] = 1
爲左上角。
代碼:
class Solution {
public:
int uniquePaths(int m, int n) {
int dp[210][210] = {0};
for (int i = 1; i <= m; ++i) {
for (int j = 1; j <= n; ++j) {
if (i == 1 && j == 1) dp[i][j] = 1;
else dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] + dp[i][j - 1];
}
}
return dp[m][n];
}
};
