Problem:
Number Triangles
Consider the number triangle shown below. Write a program that calculates the highest sum of numbers that can be passed on a route that starts at the top and ends somewhere on the base. Each step can go either diagonally down to the left or diagonally down to the right.
7 3 8 8 1 0 2 7 4 4 4 5 2 6 5
In the sample above, the route from 7 to 3 to 8 to 7 to 5 produces the highest sum: 30.
PROGRAM NAME: numtri
INPUT FORMAT
The first line contains R (1 <= R <= 1000), the number of rows. Each subsequent line contains the integers for that particular row of the triangle. All the supplied integers are non-negative and no larger than 100.
SAMPLE INPUT (file numtri.in)
5 7 3 8 8 1 0 2 7 4 4 4 5 2 6 5
OUTPUT FORMAT
A single line containing the largest sum using the traversal specified.
SAMPLE OUTPUT (file numtri.out)
30
