Hi Everyone, this is the 113th video of our Playlist "Dynamic Programming : Popular Interview Problems".
Now we will be solving a very good DP Problem based on grid DP - Painting a Grid With Three Different Colors | Detailed Thought Process | Leetcode 1931 | codestorywithMIK

I will explain it in full detail so that it becomes easy to understand. Each line will be explained and you will know the WHY behind everything.
We will also understand why Greedy fails. We will deep dive so that the thought process will be cleared.
This will help you solve similar problems where states for a complete row or a complete column can help to solve the problem.

Video Summary :
The intuition behind this problem lies in breaking down a 2D grid coloring task into column-by-column choices, ensuring that colors follow rules: no two adjacent cells (vertically or horizontally) have the same color. Instead of coloring the whole grid directly, we precompute valid column patterns and use dynamic programming to count how many ways columns can be placed side by side without breaking the rules. This approach reduces complexity by reusing results and treating each column as a state.
