Problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/unique-...
Solution Code: https://leetcode.com/problems/unique-...
Additional Tips:
Pay special attention to initializing the DP array correctly with obstacles
Remember that a single obstacle in the first row/column blocks all further paths
Consider the space optimization from O(m*n) to O(n) by reusing rows
