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.
class Solution

public:
int uniquePaths(int m, int n)
{
if(m==1 || n==1)
return 1;
long long up,down;

down = cal(n-1,1);
}
else

down = cal(m-1,1);
}
return up/down;

long long cal(int hi, int lo)
{
long long res = 1;
while(lo<=hi)
{
res *= lo;
lo++;

return res;
