70. Climbing Stairs

Easy

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

Constraints:

Solution

function climbStairs(n: number, memo: Record<string, number> = {}): number {
    if (n in memo) return memo[n]
    if (n === 0) return 1
    if (n < 0) return 0
    memo[n] = climbStairs(n - 1, memo) + climbStairs(n - 2, memo)
    return memo[n]
}

export { climbStairs }
