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.
Analysis:
there is a little difference with the Unique Paths
DP functions
dp[i]][j] = dp[i-1][j]+dp[i][j-1] if obstacle[i][j] == 0
= 0 if obstacle[i][j] == 1
java

step[0] = 1;
for(int i=0;i<m;i++){

step[j] = 0;
else if(j>0){
step[j] = step[j-1]+step[j];
