Unique Paths Problem: 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
.
Input: m = 3, n = 7 Output: 28

Problem Solution In Python
class Solution(object):

dp = [[0] * m for _ in range(n)]
for i in range(n):
for j in range(m):
if (i == 0) or (j == 0): dp[i][j] = 1
else: dp[i][j] = dp[i][j-1] + dp[i-1][j]
return dp[-1][-1]
