#Climbing Stairs ##Problem: You are climbing a stair case. It takes n steps to reach to the top.
Each time you can either climb 1 or 2 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?
##Idea:
Fibonacci
Dynamic Programming
class Solution {
public:
int climbStairs(int n) {
if(n<=1) return 1;
else
{
int sub[n+1];
sub[0]=1;
sub[1]=1;
for(int i=2;i<=n;i++)
{
sub[i]=sub[i-1]+sub[i-2];
}
return sub[n];
}
}
};
##To Study:
We can use two varibles oneStepBefore
, twoStepBefore
instead of an array to decrease space complexity.
class Solution {
public:
int climbStairs(int n) {
int result=1;
if(n>=2)
{
int oneStepBefore=1;
int twoStepBefore=1;
for(int i=2;i<=n;i++)
{
result=oneStepBefore+twoStepBefore;
twoStepBefore=oneStepBefore;
oneStepBefore=result;
}
}
return result;
}
};
