Problem Description
# Coin Change You are given an integer array `coins` representing coins of different denominations and an integer `amount` representing a total amount of money. Return *the fewest number of coins that you need to make up that amount*. If that amount of money cannot be made up by any combination of the coins, return `-1`. You may assume that you have an infinite number of each kind of coin. ## Example 1 ``` Input: coins = [1,2,5], amount = 5 Output: 5 Explanation: 5 = 5 (one coin). Smallest number of coins needed = 1. ``` ## Example 2 ``` Input: coins = [2], amount = 3 Output: -1 ``` ## Example 3 ``` Input: coins = [10], amount = 10 Output: 1 ``` ## Constraints - `1 <= coins.length <= 12` - `1 <= coins[i] <= 2³¹ - 1` - `0 <= amount <= 10⁴`
Constraints
- 1 <= coins.length <= 12\n- 1 <= coins[i] <= 2³¹ - 1\n- 0 <= amount <= 10⁴
