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.
Solution:
Same idea as Unique Paths.
The only difference is whenever we meet an obstacle, we set the number of unique paths to this point 0.
Code:
public class Solution { public int uniquePathsWithObstacles(int[][] obstacleGrid) { if (obstacleGrid == null || obstacleGrid.length == 0) { return 0; } if (obstacleGrid[0] == null || obstacleGrid[0].length == 0) { return 0; } int m = obstacleGrid.length; int n = obstacleGrid[0].length; int[][] paths = new int[m][n]; for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) { if (obstacleGrid[i][0] == 1) { break; } paths[i][0] = 1; } for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) { if (obstacleGrid[0][j] == 1) { break; } paths[0][j] = 1; } for (int i = 1; i < m; i++) { for (int j = 1; j < n; j++) { if (obstacleGrid[i][j] == 1) { paths[i][j] = 0; continue; } paths[i][j] = paths[i - 1][j] + paths[i][j - 1]; } } return paths[m - 1][n - 1]; } }
