──coin-change.md · LeetCode MediumPROBLEM
Fewest coins to make amount from coins[]. Return -1 if impossible.
hint 1· observation

Build the answer from smaller subproblems — the minimum for every amount below the target.

hint 2· direction

Let dp[i] be the min coins for amount i; reuse solved subproblems.

hint 3· locked

Reveal once you've spent time on hint 2.

// how it works

From stuck to solved in three steps

01

Paste the problem

Drop a LeetCode, Codeforces, or USACO link. AlgoPath pulls the statement and samples.

02

Get a nudge, not a spoiler

Three hints unlock in order — each moves your thinking forward without handing over the answer.

03

Solve, then get reviewed

Write your solution, run the samples, and get AI feedback on complexity and approach.

Hints that teach, never spoil

──coin-change.md · 3 progressive hints
hint 1· observation

Think about building the answer from smaller subproblems. If you knew the minimum coins for every amount below the target, how would that answer the original question?

hint 2· direction

Define dp[i] as the minimum coins for amount i. For each amount, subtract every coin and take the best already-solved subproblem.

hint 3· locked

Reveal after you've spent real time on hint 2.

def coinChange(coins, amount):    dp = [float("inf")] * (amount + 1)    dp[0] = 0    for i in range(1, amount + 1):        for c in coins:            if c <= i:                dp[i] = min(dp[i], dp[i - c] + 1)    return dp[amount] if dp[amount] != float("inf") else -1

complexity

O(n·m) time, O(n) space. Standard bottom-up DP — optimal for this approach.

strengths

Clean recurrence, handles the impossible case, idiomatic bottom-up pattern.

consider

Inner loop can break early once dp[i] == 1. A minor win — the solution is already correct.
