Ans. 
The problem involves counting the number of distinct ways to climb N stairs by taking 1 or 2 steps at a time.
• Use dynamic programming to solve this problem efficiently.

• The number of ways to reach the Nth stair is equal to the sum of ways to reach (N-1)th stair and (N-2)th stair.

• Handle modulo 10^9+7 to avoid overflow issues.

• Consider base cases for 0th and 1st stair.

• Optimize the solution by using constant space instead of
