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];

if (i >= coins[j] && dp[i - coins[j]] != Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
dp[i] = Math.min(dp[i], dp[i - coins[j]] + 1);
}
