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
Constraints:
-
1 <= coins.length <= 12
-
1 <= coins[i] <= 231 - 1
-
0 <= amount <= 104
SOLUTION:
class Solution:
def coinChangeRec(self, amount):
if amount < 0:
return -1
if amount == 0:
return 0
if amount in self.memo:
return self.memo[amount]
numCoins = float('inf')
for coin in self.coins:
currMin = 1 + self.coinChangeRec(amount - coin)
if currMin == 0:
continue
numCoins = min(numCoins, currMin)
if numCoins == float('inf'):
numCoins = -1
self.memo[amount] = numCoins
return numCoins
def coinChange(self, coins: List[int], amount: int) -> int:
self.memo = {}
self.coins = coins
return self.coinChangeRec(amount)
