Unique Paths

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?

Answer

这个网格中每一步都可以从上面或者左边走到,所以当前格子的数目等于上面的数值加上左边的数值。

class Solution(object):
    def uniquePaths(self, m, n):
        """
        :type m: int
        :type n: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        a = [[1 for i in range(n)] for i in range(m)]
        for i in range(1, m):
            for j in range(1, n):
                a[i][j] = a[i-1][j] + a[i][j-1]
        return a[m-1][n-1]
