HackerRank The Coin Change Problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202430 November 2025

In this HackerRank The Coin Change Problem solution you have given an amount and the denominations of coins available, determine how many ways change can be made for amount. There is a limitless supply of each coin type.

HackerRank The Coin Change Problem solution

Problem solution in Python.

amount, _ = [int(item) for item in input().strip().split()]
coins = [int(item) for item in input().strip().split()]

dp_arr = [1] + [0] * amount
for coin in coins:
    for idx in range(coin, amount+1):
        dp_arr[idx] += dp_arr[idx - coin]
print(dp_arr[-1])
