Problem: Coin Change

med
30 min
Explore strategies to solve the coin change problem by determining the fewest coins needed to reach a target amount. Understand how to apply dynamic programming concepts to optimize your solution and handle cases where the target cannot be met.

Statement

Given an integer total that represents the target amount of money and a list of integers coins that represents different coin denominations, find the minimum number of coins required to make up the total amount. If it’s impossible to achieve the target amount using the given coins, return -1. If the target amount is 0, return 0.

Note: You can assume that we have an infinite number of each kind of coin.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq coins.length 12\leq 12

  • 11 \leq coins[i] 104\leq 10^4

  • 00 \leq total 900\leq 900
