+ * A dynamic programming solution for the "Climbing Stairs" problem.
+ * Returns the no. of distinct ways to climb to the top
+ * of a staircase when you can climb either 1 or 2 steps at a time.
+ *
+ * For example, if there are 5 steps, the possible ways to climb the
+ * staircase are:
+ * 1. 1-1-1-1-1
+ * 2. 1-1-1-2
+ * 3. 1-2-1-1
+ * 4. 2-1-1-1
+ * 5. 2-2-1
+ * 6. 1-1-2-1
+ * 7. 1-2-2
+ * 8. 2-1-2
+ * Ans: 8 ways
