A robot is located at the top-left corner of a m x 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 x 7 grid. How many possible unique paths are there?
Note: m and n will be at most 100.
Solution:
In order to obtain O(n) we just keep the last row and the actual oneclass Solution:
# @return an integer
def uniquePaths(self, m, n):
for row in range(0,m):
actualRow = []
for col in range(0,n):
if row ==0 and col==0:
actual = 1
else:
actual = 0;
if row>0:
actual += previousRow[col]
if col>0:
actual += actualRow[col-1]
actualRow.append(actual)
previousRow= actualRow
return actualRow[n-1]
