Leetcode174-Dungeon Game

欢迎光临我的博客：HuHaoyu’s Blog。

The demons had captured the princess (P) and imprisoned her in the bottom-right corner of a dungeon. The dungeon consists of M x N rooms laid out in a 2D grid. Our valiant knight (K) was initially positioned in the top-left room and must fight his way through the dungeon to rescue the princess.

The knight has an initial health point represented by a positive integer. If at any point his health point drops to 0 or below, he dies immediately.

Some of the rooms are guarded by demons, so the knight loses health (negative integers) upon entering these rooms; other rooms are either empty (0’s) or contain magic orbs that increase the knight’s health (positive integers).

In order to reach the princess as quickly as possible, the knight decides to move only rightward or downward in each step.

Write a function to determine the knight’s minimum initial health so that he is able to rescue the princess.

For example, given the dungeon below, the initial health of the knight must be at least 7 if he follows the optimal path RIGHT-> RIGHT -> DOWN -> DOWN.

-2(K)	-3	3
-5	-10	1
10	30	-5(P)

Notes:

• The knight’s health has no upper bound.
• Any room can contain threats or power-ups, even the first room the knight enters and the bottom-right room where the princess is imprisoned.

分析

骑士只能向下或向右移动，每个方格如果是正数表示加血，如果是负数表示扣血。血量等于或低于0时骑士死亡。求骑士从左上角出发并顺利到达右下角条件下的最小初始血量。

初步分析本题采用动态规划。分别从正向和反向考虑。

正向

按正向考虑，dp[i][j]表示从起点出发到(i, j)点所需的最小初始血量。但发现计算dp[i][j]时不能单纯地取dp[i-1][j]和dp[i][j-1]的较小值。原因在于，当前到达(i, j)位置时的剩余血量会对后面的结果产生影响。

简单地说，比如A＝dp[i-1][j]，B＝dp[i][j-1]，remainA和remainB分别对应A和B的剩余血量。当A>B同时remainA>remainB时，如果我们选择B，在后续路径中如果有较大的负值出现，那么B较小的优势并不能传递，此时剩余血量反而更重要。

但引入剩余血量对路径的选择又会使算法变的复杂。所以从反向考虑。

反向

按反向考虑，dp[i][j]表示从(i, j)点出发到达右下角点所需的踏入(i, j)点前的最小剩余血量。那么，状态转移方程如下：

dp[i][j]=max{ min{ dp[i+1][j], dp[i][j+1] } - dungeon[i][j], 0 }

在边界上的情况需要做简单的处理。

由于反向时考虑了从当前点到终点的路径，因此dp[0][0]就是踏入(0,0)点前的最小剩余血量，即最小初始血量。这里可以发现，正向考虑时纠结的剩余血量，在这里就是求的dp[i][j]。反向求解过程非常自然，最重要的就是正确选择了dp的目标。

AC代码

class Solution {
public:
    int calculateMinimumHP(vector<vector<int>>& dungeon) {
        int row = dungeon.size();
        int col = dungeon[0].size();
        for (int i = row - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
            for (int j = col - 1; j >= 0; --j) {
                solveCurrentMinValue(dungeon, row, col, i, j);
            }
        }
        return dungeon[0][0] + 1;
    }

    void solveCurrentMinValue(vector<vector<int>>& dungeon, int row, int col, int i, int j) {
        pair<int, int> rightPoint(make_pair(i, j + 1)), lowerPoint(make_pair(i + 1, j));
        int lower, right, min, MAX_INT;
        bool hasLower, hasRight;
        lower = right = 0;
        hasLower = hasRight = true;
        MAX_INT = 999999999;

        if (rightPoint.first < row && rightPoint.second < col) {
            right = dungeon[rightPoint.first][rightPoint.second];
        } else {
            hasRight = false;
        }
        if (lowerPoint.first < row && lowerPoint.second < col) {
            lower = dungeon[lowerPoint.first][lowerPoint.second];
        } else {
            hasLower = false;
        }

        if (!hasLower && !hasRight) {
            min = 0;
        } else {
            min = minValue(hasLower ? lower : MAX_INT, hasRight ? right : MAX_INT);
        }

        int current = min - dungeon[i][j];
        dungeon[i][j] = current >= 0 ? current : 0;
    }

    int minValue(int x, int y) {
        return x < y ? x : y;
    }
};
