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.
Note
m and n will be at most 100.
Example
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
.
Analysis:
DP: d[i][j] = d[i][j-1]+d[i-1][j].
NOTE: We can use 1D array to perform the DP. Since d[i][j] depends on d[i][j-1], i.e., the new d[][j-1], we should increase j from 0 to end. If d[i][j] depends on d[i-1][j-1] then we should decrease j from end to 0.
Solution:
1 public class Solution { 2 /** 3 * @param obstacleGrid: A list of lists of integers 4 * @return: An integer 5 */ 6 public int uniquePathsWithObstacles(int[][] obstacleGrid) { 7 int rowNum = obstacleGrid.length; 8 if (rowNum==0) return 0; 9 int colNum = obstacleGrid[0].length; 10 if (colNum==0) return 0; 11 if (obstacleGrid[0][0]==1) return 0; 12 13 int[] path = new int[colNum]; 14 path[0] =1; 15 for (int i=1;i<colNum;i++) 16 if (obstacleGrid[0][i]==1) path[i]=0; 17 else path[i] = path[i-1]; 18 19 for (int i=1;i<rowNum;i++){ 20 if (obstacleGrid[i][0]==1) path[0]=0; 21 for (int j=1;j<colNum;j++) 22 if (obstacleGrid[i][j]==1) path[j]=0; 23 else path[j]=path[j-1]+path[j]; 24 25 } 26 27 28 return path[colNum-1]; 29 } 30 }
