63. Unique Paths II

Description

You are given an m x n integer array grid. There is a robot 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.

An obstacle and space are marked as 1 or 0 respectively in grid. A path that the robot takes cannot include any square that is an obstacle.

Return the number of possible unique paths that the robot can take to reach the bottom-right corner.

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

 

Example 1:

Input: obstacleGrid = [[0,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,0]]
Output: 2
Explanation: There is one obstacle in the middle of the 3x3 grid above.
There are two ways to reach the bottom-right corner:
1. Right -> Right -> Down -> Down
2. Down -> Down -> Right -> Right

Example 2:

Input: obstacleGrid = [[0,1],[0,0]]
Output: 1

 

Constraints:

  • m == obstacleGrid.length
  • n == obstacleGrid[i].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 100
  • obstacleGrid[i][j] is 0 or 1.

Solutions

Solution 1: Dynamic Programming

We define $dp[i][j]$ to represent the number of paths to reach the grid $(i,j)$.

First, initialize all values in the first column and first row of $dp$, then traverse other rows and columns, there are two cases:

  • If $obstacleGrid[i][j] = 1$, it means the number of paths is $0$, so $dp[i][j] = 0$;
  • If $obstacleGrid[i][j] = 0$, then $dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] + dp[i][j - 1]$.

Finally, return $dp[m - 1][n - 1]$.

The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, and the space complexity is $O(m \times n)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the grid, respectively.
