Climbing Stairs

You are climbing a stair case. It takes n steps to reach to the top.
Each time you can either climb 1 or 2 steps. In how many distinct ways can you climb to the top?
Note: Given n will be a positive integer.

class Solution {
public:
    int climbStairs(int n) {
        if (n == 0) return 0;
        
        if (n == 1) return 1;
        
        // dp space complexity is O(n)
        vector<int> dp(n);
        dp[0] = 1;
        dp[1] = 2;
        
        for(int i = 2; i<n; i++)
        {
            dp[i] = dp[i-1] + dp[i-2];
        }
        
        return dp[n-1];
    }
};
