Question:
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.
public class Solution {
public int uniquePaths(int m, int n) {
long x = 1;
long y = 1;
if(m>n){
for (int i = 1; i <= n - 1; i++) {
y *= i;
}
for (int i = m; i <= m + n - 2; i++) {
x *= i;
}
}else {
for (int i = 1; i <= m - 1; i++) {
y *= i;
}
for (int i = n; i <= m + n - 2; i++) {
x *= i;
}
}
return (int) (x/y);
}
}
或者用动态规划来解题:
public class Solution {
public int uniquePaths(int m, int n) {
int[][] dp = new int[m][n];
for(int i=0;i<m;i++){
dp[i][0]=1;
}
for(int j=0;j<n;j++){
dp[0][j]=1;
}
for(int i=1;i<m;i++){
for(int j=1;j<n;j++){
dp[i][j] = dp[i][j-1]+dp[i-1][j];
}
}
return dp[m-1][n-1];
}
}
