Practice Problem
Unique Paths
Difficulty: Medium
Given an m x n grid, find the number of unique paths from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner, moving only right or down.
Unique Paths
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.
Examples
Example 1:
Input: m = 3, n = 7
Output: 28
Explanation: From the top-left corner, there are 28 unique paths to the bottom-right corner.Example 2:
Input: m = 3, n = 2
Output: 3
Explanation: There are three paths:
1. Right -> Down -> Down
2. Down -> Down -> Right
3. Down -> Right -> DownExample 3:
Input: m = 1, n = 1
Output: 1
Explanation: The robot is already at the destination.Constraints
1 <= m, n <= 100
Expected Complexity
- Time: O(m * n)
- Space: O(n) with space optimization, or O(m * n) with a full 2D table
