What is Climbing Stairs?
You can climb one or two steps at a time. Find the number of distinct ways to reach the top of n stairs. The number of ways to reach step n is the sum of ways to reach n-1 and n-2, which is exactly the Fibonacci pattern. This is the entry point to DP and teaches you to see a problem as a recurrence: the answer at each state depends on previous states.
