LeetCode 1301: Number of Paths with Max Score | Recursion + Memoization (DP)

In this video, we tackle LeetCode 1301: Number of Paths with Max Score. We will break down the problem step-by-step and solve it using a Top-Down Dynamic Programming approach with Recursion and Memoization. We’ll discuss how to navigate the board, track both the maximum score and the number of ways to achieve that score, and handle the modulo 10^9 + 7 requirement to prevent integer overflow. What You Will Learn: How to break the problem down into overlapping subproblems. Writing the base cases for our recursive function. Optimizing the naive recursion using Memoization (Top-Down DP) to prevent Time Limit Exceeded (TLE) errors. Time and Space Complexity analysis.
