一. 題目描述
A robot is located at the top-left corner of a m n grid (marked ‘Start’ in the diagram below).
The robot can only move either down or right at any point in time. The robot is trying to reach the bottom-right corner of the grid (marked ’Finish’ in the diagram below).
How many possible unique paths are there?
Above is a 3 * 7 grid. How many possible unique paths are there?<喎?http://www.Bkjia.com/kf/ware/vc/" target="_blank" class="keylink">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"brush:java;">
k[i][j]=k[i-1][j]+k[i][j-1]
使用動態規劃時,需注意邊界條件的設定。
以下代碼使用new創建一維數組(數組大小為m * n
)並將其作為二維數組使用,第i
行、j
列的元素可表示為:k[i * n + j]
,這樣創建二維數組的好處是內存連續,但表示不夠直觀。
三. 示例代碼
#include
using namespace std;
class Solution
{
public:
// 深搜,會超時
int uniquePaths(int m, int n)
{
if (m <= 0 || n <= 0)
return 0;
if (m == 1 || n == 1)
return 1;
return uniquePaths(m - 1, n) + uniquePaths(m, n - 1);
}
// 動態規劃
int uniquePaths2(int m, int n) // 動態規劃
{
int *k = new int[m * n];
// 到兩條邊處各點的走法只有一種
for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i)
k[i * n] = 1;
for (int j = 0; j < n; ++j)
k[j] = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < m; ++i)
{
for (int j = 1; j < n; ++j)
{
k[i * n + j] = k[(i - 1) * n + j] + k[i * n + j - 1];
}
}
int result = k[(m - 1) * n + n - 1];
delete [] k;
return result;
}
};
四. 小結
事實上,如果只是求出路線的種數,完全可以將該問題轉化為數學問題。假設一個m
行n
列的矩陣,機器人從左上走到右下總共需要的步數是m + n - 2
,其中向下走的步數是m - 1
,因此問題變成了在m + n - 2
個操作中,選擇m – 1
個時間點向下走,選擇方式有多少種,可用以下公式算出:
若考慮向右走的情況,則步數為n - 1
,問題也可解釋為在m + n - 2
個操作中,選擇n – 1
個時間點向右走的方法有多少種,公式:
