Count Vowels Permutation

Given an integer n, your task is to count how many strings of length n can be formed under the following rules:

Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 1
Output: 5
Explanation: All possible strings are: "a", "e", "i" , "o" and "u".

Example 2:

Input: n = 2
Output: 10
Explanation: All possible strings are: "ae", "ea", "ei", "ia", "ie", "io", "iu", "oi", "ou" and "ua".

Example 3: 

Input: n = 5
Output: 68

Solution:

class Solution {
    int mod = (int) 1e9 + 7;
    
    public int countVowelPermutation(int n) {
        long[][] dp = new long[n][5];
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {
            dp[0][i] = 1;
        }
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i ++) {
            // 0 -> a
            // 1 -> e
            // 2 -> i
            // 3 -> o
            // 4 -> u
            dp[i][0] = dp[i - 1][1];
            dp[i][1] = (dp[i - 1][0] + dp[i - 1][2]) % mod;
            dp[i][2] = (dp[i - 1][0] + dp[i - 1][1] + dp[i - 1][3] + dp[i - 1][4]) % mod;
            dp[i][3] = (dp[i - 1][2] + dp[i - 1][4]) % mod;
            dp[i][4] = dp[i - 1][0];
        }
        long res = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {
            res += dp[n - 1][i];
        }
        return (int) (res % mod);
    }
