You are climbing a stair case. It takes n steps to reach to the top.
Each time you can either climb 1 or 2 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?
Round 2:
class Solution {
public:
int climbStairs(int n) {
int steps[n+1];
steps[0] = 1;
steps[1] = 1;
for(int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
{
steps[i] = steps[i-1] + steps[i-2];
}
return steps[n];
}
};
