LeetCode 62.Unique Paths

题目：

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.

分析与解答：典型的DP题目，但这个题可以偷懒。不管怎么走，总共走到终点需要m+n-2步。其中向下m-1步，向右n-1步所以总共的可能性是C（m-1/n-1）。直接计算这个结果即可。注意int类型相乘可能溢出的问题。

class Solution {
public:
    int uniquePaths(int m, int n) {
        m--;n--;
        int index = m<n?m:n,sum = m+n,b = index;
        long up = sum,down = index;
        if(index == 0)
            return 1;
        for(int i = 1; i < index;++i){
            up *= --sum;
        }
        for(int i = 1;i < index;++i){
            down *= --b;
        }
        return up/down;
    }
};
