Coin Change

You are given coins of different denominations and a total amount of money amount. Write a function to compute the fewest number of coins that you need to make up that amount.

  • Time: O(n)
  • Space: O(n)
public int coinChange(int[] coins, int amount) {
    int[] dp = new int[amount + 1];
    for (int i = 1; i <= amount; i++) {
        dp[i] = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    }
    for (int i = 1; i <= amount; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < coins.length; j++) {
            if (i >= coins[j] && dp[i - coins[j]] != Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
                dp[i] = Math.min(dp[i], dp[i - coins[j]] + 1);
            }
        }
    }
    return dp[amount] == Integer.MAX_VALUE ? -1 : dp[amount];
