Unique Paths II

Question

http://www.lintcode.com/en/problem/unique-paths-ii/
Follow up for "Unique Paths":

Now consider if some obstacles are added to the grids. How many unique paths would there be?

An obstacle and empty space is marked as 1 and 0 respectively in the grid.

Example

For example,

There is one obstacle in the middle of a 3x3 grid as illustrated below.

[
[0,0,0],
[0,1,0],
[0,0,0]
]

The total number of unique paths is 2.

Answer

class Solution {
public:
    /*
     * @param obstacleGrid: A list of lists of integers
     * @return: An integer
     */
    int uniquePathsWithObstacles(vector<vector<int>> &obstacleGrid) {
        int m = obstacleGrid.size();
        if (m <= 0)
            return 0;
        int n = obstacleGrid[0].size();
        if (obstacleGrid[0][0] == 1 || obstacleGrid[m-1][n-1] == 1)
            return 0;
        vector<vector<int>> res(m, vector<int>(n, 0));
        res[0][0] = 1;
        for (int j = 1; j < n; j++) {
             if (obstacleGrid[0][j] == 1) {
                 for (int i = j; i < n; i++)
                      res[0][i] = 0;
                 break;
             } else
                 res[0][j] = 1;
        }
        for (int j = 1; j < m; j++) {
             if (obstacleGrid[j][0] == 1) {
                 for (int i = j; i < m; i++)
                      res[i][0] = 0;
                 break;
             } else {
                 res[j][0] = 1;
             }
        }
        for (int i = 1; i < m; i++) {
             for (int j = 1; j < n; j++) {
                 if (obstacleGrid[i][j] == 1)
                     res[i][j] = 0;
                 else
                     res[i][j] = res[i-1][j] + res[i][j-1];
             }
        }
        return res[m-1][n-1];
    }
};
