Follow up for "Unique Paths":
Now consider if some obstacles are added to the grids. How many unique paths would there be?
An obstacle and empty space is marked as 1
and 0
respectively in the grid.
For example,
There is one obstacle in the middle of a 3x3 grid as illustrated below.
[ [0,0,0], [0,1,0], [0,0,0] ]
The total number of unique paths is 2
.
Note: m and n will be at most 100.
Analyse: Construct another 2*2 array to store path information. First initialize the first column and first row, then compute remaining parts.
Runtime: 4ms.
