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?
Above is a 3 x 7 grid. How many possible unique paths are there?
Note: m and n will be at most 100.
Solution 1:
public class Solution { public int uniquePaths(int m,int n){ if(m<0||n<0) return 0; if(m==0||n==0) return 1; int[][] results=new int[m][n]; for(int i=0;i<m;i++) results[i][0]=1; for(int j=0;j<n;j++) results[0][j]=1; for(int i=1;i<m;i++) for(int j=1;j<n;j++) results[i][j]=results[i-1][j]+results[i][j-1]; return results[m-1][n-1]; } }
Solution 2:
public class Solution { public int uniquePaths1(int m, int n) { if(m<0||n<0) return 0; if(m==0||n==0) return 1; int[] results=new int[n]; results[0]=1; for(int i=0;i<m;i++) for(int j=1;j<n;j++) results[j]=results[j]+results[j-1]; return results[n-1]; } }
Unique Paths II
Follow up for "Unique Paths":
Now consider if some obstacles are added to the grids. How many unique paths would there be?
An obstacle and empty space is marked as 1 and 0 respectively in the grid.
For example,
There is one obstacle in the middle of a 3x3 grid as illustrated below.
[
[0,0,0],
[0,1,0],
[0,0,0]
]
The total number of unique paths is 2.
Note: m and n will be at most 100.
Solution :
public class Solution { public int uniquePathsWithObstacles(int[][] obstacleGrid) { int m=obstacleGrid.length; int n=obstacleGrid[0].length; if(m==0||n==0) return 0; int[][] results=new int[m][n]; for(int i=0;i<m;i++){ for(int j=0;j<n;j++){ if(obstacleGrid[i][j]==0) if(i==0&&j==0) results[0][0]=1; else results[i][j]=(i>0?results[i-1][j]:0)+(j>0?results[i][j-1]:0); } } return results[m-1][n-1]; } }
