62. Unique Paths

Medium

There is a robot on an m x n grid. The robot is initially located at the top-left corner (i.e., grid[0][0]). The robot tries to move to the bottom-right corner (i.e., grid[m - 1][n - 1]). The robot can only move either down or right at any point in time.

Given the two integers m and n, return the number of possible unique paths that the robot can take to reach the bottom-right corner.

The test cases are generated so that the answer will be less than or equal to 2 * 109.

Example 1:

Input: m = 3, n = 7

Output: 28

Example 2:

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 -> Down -> Down

  2. Down -> Down -> Right

  3. Down -> Right -> Down

Constraints:

Solution

class Solution {
  int uniquePaths(int m, int n) {
    List<List<int>> dp = List.generate(m, (_) => List.filled(n, 0));

    // Initialize the first column to 1
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
      dp[i][0] = 1;
    }

    // Initialize the first row to 1
    for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
      dp[0][j] = 1;
    }

    // Fill the dp table
    for (int i = 1; i < m; i++) {
      for (int j = 1; j < n; j++) {
        dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] + dp[i][j - 1];
      }
    }

    return dp[m - 1][n - 1];
  }
}
