/**

* @brief [Minimum coins](https://leetcode.com/problems/coin-change/) change
* problem is a problem used to find the minimum number of coins required to
* completely reach a target amount.
*
* @details
* This problem can be solved using 2 methods:
* 1. Top down approach
* 2. Bottom up appraoch
* Top down approach involves a vector with all elements initialised to 0.
* It is based on optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems.
* Overall time complexity of coin change problem is O(n*t)
* For example: example 1:-
* Coins: {1,7,10}
* Target:15
* Therfore minimum number of coins required = 3 of denomination 1,7 and 7.
