62. Unique Paths

Medium

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?

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 

Example 3:

Input: m = 7, n = 3

Output: 28

Example 4:

Input: m = 3, n = 3

Output: 6

Solution

class Solution {
    fun uniquePaths(m: Int, n: Int): Int {
        val dp = Array(m) { IntArray(n) }
        for (i in 0 until m) {
            dp[i][0] = 1
        }
        for (j in 0 until n) {
            dp[0][j] = 1
        }
        for (i in 1 until m) {
            for (j in 1 until n) {
                dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] + dp[i][j - 1]
            }
        }
        return dp[m - 1][n - 1]
    }
