unique paths

The 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?

The Anwser

使用动态规划的求解方式

  1. 对于第一行,路径只为1;
  2. 对于第一列,路径只为1;
  3. 对于i行j列,有两种达到方式:
    1. 从上方达到;
    2. 从下方达到。

代码如下

class Solution {
public:
int (int m, int n) {
int a[m][n];
for(int i=0;i<m;++i)
a[i][0]=1;
for(int j=0;j<n;++j)
a[0][j]=1;
for(int i=1;i<m;++i)
for(int j=1;j<n;++j)
a[i][j]=a[i-1][j]+a[i][j-1];
return a[m-1][n-1];
}
};
