Solution 1:
public class Solution { public int climbStairs(int n) { if(n <=2 ) return n; int[] count = new int[n]; count[0] = 1; count[1] = 2; return getCount(count, n-1); } private int getCount(int[] count, int index) { if(count[index] != 0) return count[index]; int steps = getCount(count, index -1) + getCount(count, index -2); count[index] = steps; return steps; } }
Solution 2:
public class Solution { public int climbStairs(int n) { if(n <=2 ) return n; int[] count = new int[n]; count[0] = 1; count[1] = 2; for(int i =2; i< n; ++i) { count[i] = count[i-1]+count[i-2]; } return count[n -1]; } }
