Coin Change (Leetcode 322) - Coding Interview Question
You are given an integer array coins
representing coins of different denominations and an integer
amount
representing a total amount of money.
Return the fewest number of coins that you need to make up that amount. If that amount of money cannot
be made up by any combination of the coins, return -1
.
You may assume that you have an infinite number of each kind of coin.
Example 1:
Input: coins = [1,2,5], amount = 11 Output: 3 Explanation: 11 = 5 + 5 + 1
Example 2:
Input: coins = [2], amount = 3 Output: -1
Example 3:
Input: coins = [1], amount = 0 Output: 0
Example 4:
Input: coins = [1], amount = 1 Output: 1
Example 5:
Input: coins = [1], amount = 2 Output: 2
Constraints:
1 <= coins.length <= 12
1 <= coins[i] <= 231 - 1
0 <= amount <= 104

* This is a variation of Unbounded Knapsack DP.
* Important points to note:
* Initialization for dp[i][0] = 0 for all i.
* If an element is not included it means its not included in any of the counts.
* Note the subtle difference in code between 0/1 Knapsack vs Unbounded Knapsack.
* Time Complexity: O(N ^ 2)
* Space Complexit: O(N ^ 2)
