tomatocream 1dec88aaf2 feat: populate note files with problem descriptions and code stubs
Add populate-notes.mjs that fetches problem descriptions and
Python/C++ code stubs from LeetCode's GraphQL API. Populated
all 197 NeetCode 150 note files with:
- Problem description (examples, constraints)
- Python code stub (function signature)
- C++ code stub (function signature + includes)

API responses cached in leetcode/.cache/leetcode/ for instant re-runs.

TODO 0322. Coin Change   medium

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] <= 2^{31} - 1
  • 0 <= amount <= 10^{4}

TODO Approach

Write your approach here.

TODO Python

class Solution:
    def coinChange(self, coins: List[int], amount: int) -> int:

TODO C++

class Solution {
public:
    int coinChange(vector<int>& coins, int amount) {
        
    }
};
