14. Climbing Stairs

You are climbing a staircase. It takes n steps to reach the top.

Each time you can either climb 1 or 2 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?


Example 1:
Input: n = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: There are two ways to climb to the top.

  1. 1 step + 1 step
  2. 2 steps

Example 2:
Input: n = 3
Output: 3
Explanation: There are three ways to climb to the top.

  1. 1 step + 1 step + 1 step
  2. 1 step + 2 steps
  3. 2 steps + 1 step


class Solution:
    def climbStairs(self, n: int) -> int:
        def fib(i,dp):
            if i==0:
                return 1
            if i<0:
                return 0
            if dp[i]!=-1:
                return dp[i]

            dp[i]= fib(i-1,dp) + fib(i-2,dp)

            return dp[i]
        dp=[-1]*(n+1) 
        return fib(n,dp)
