DSA in Python – Unique Paths | 4 DP Approaches | LeetCode 62 | Part 196 [Hindi]

2.3K views on YouTube

📘 Welcome to Part 196 of Code & Debug’s DSA in Python Course!

In this video, we break down the fundamental dynamic programming problem: Unique Paths from LeetCode. We’ll explore how a robot can move from the top-left to the bottom-right in an m x n grid, using only right and down moves. This video covers all 4 major approaches, progressing from brute-force recursion to the highly optimal, space-efficient DP solution, exactly as explained in our comprehensive article.

This is an excellent problem to get hands-on with basic-to-advanced DP strategies (recursion ➝ memoization ➝ tabulation ➝ space optimization). Mastering these approaches will prepare you for a wide range of grid-based DP interview questions.

👨🏫 What’s covered in this video:
1. Problem statement, input and output overview
2. Approach 1: Brute Force Recursion
3. Approach 2: Memoization (Top-Down DP)
4. Approach 3: Tabulation (Bottom-Up DP)
5. Approach 4: Space-Optimized Tabulation
6. Full Python code walkthrough for every solution
7. Step-by-step dry runs & visual explanation for transitions
8. Time and space complexity analysis
9. Interview guidance for modeling grid-based moves in DP

By the end, you’ll be comfortable with the full set of DP patterns needed for classic grid pathfinding problems!
