62. Unique Paths

Hazrat Ali

Leetcode

There is a robot on an m x n grid. The robot is initially located at the top-left corner (i.e., grid[0][0]). The robot tries to move to the bottom-right corner (i.e., grid[m - 1][n - 1]). The robot can only move either down or right at any point in time.

Given the two integers m and n, return the number of possible unique paths that the robot can take to reach the bottom-right corner.

The test cases are generated so that the answer will be less than or equal to 2 * 109.

 

Example 1:

Input: m = 3, n = 7
Output: 28

Example 2:

Input: m = 3, n = 2
Output: 3
Explanation: From the top-left corner, there are a total of 3 ways to reach the bottom-right corner:
1. Right -> Down -> Down
2. Down -> Down -> Right
3. Down -> Right -> Down

Solution :
/**
 * @param {number} m
 * @param {number} n
 * @return {number}
 */
const uniquePaths = (m, n) => {
  const dp = Array(m);
  for (let i = 0; i < m; i++) {
    dp[i] = Array(n).fill(0);
  }


  for (let j = 0; j < n; j++) {
    dp[0][j] = 1;
  }


  for (let i = 0; i < m; i++) {
    dp[i][0] = 1;
  }


  for (let i = 1; i < m; i++) {
    for (let j = 1; j < n; j++) {
      dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] + dp[i][j - 1];
    }
  }

  return dp[m - 1][n - 1];
};
