Problem: Climbing Stairs

Medium
30 min
Understand how to solve the climbing stairs problem by exploring dynamic programming techniques. This lesson guides you through identifying patterns to count distinct ways to climb, helping you develop efficient O(n) time and space solutions relevant for coding interviews.

Statement

You are climbing a staircase. It takes n steps to reach the top. Each time, you can either climb 11 or 22 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq n 45\leq 45
