Unique Paths

Unique Paths

/**
 * Follow up for "Unique Paths":
 * Now consider if some obstacles are added to the grids. How many unique paths would there be?
 * An obstacle and empty space is marked as 1 and 0 respectively in the grid.
 * For example,
 * There is one obstacle in the middle of a 3x3 grid as illustrated below.
 * [
      [0,0,0],
      [0,1,0],
      [0,0,0]
    ]
 * The total number of unique paths is 2.
 * Note: m and n will be at most 100.
