leetcode：Triangle



Given a triangle, find the minimum path sum from top to bottom. Each step you may move to adjacent numbers on the row below.

For example, given the following triangle

[
     [2],
    [3,4],
   [6,5,7],
  [4,1,8,3]
]

The minimum path sum from top to bottom is 11 (i.e., 2 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 11).

Note:
Bonus point if you are able to do this using only O(n) extra space, where n is the total number of rows in the triangle.

用递归超时，通不过。

迭代-动态规划：

1.从上往下遍历 ：求每一层，到每个位置的路径最小值，下一层的每个位置的路径最小值只与前一层的某一条（第一个位置和最后一个位置）或者两条路径相关。即通过求前一阶段（每个位置）的最优解推出下一阶段（每个位置）的最优解。

class Solution {
public:
    /*int dfs(vector<vector<int>>& triangle,int index,int level){
        if(level>=triangle.size())
            return 0;
        if(index+1>=triangle[level].size())
            return triangle[level][index]+dfs(triangle,index,level+1);
        return min(triangle[level][index]+dfs(triangle,index,level+1),triangle[level][index+1]+dfs(triangle,index+1,level+1));
    }
    */

    int minimumTotal(vector<vector<int>>& triangle) {
        //return dfs(triangle,0,0);//超时
        if(triangle.size()<=0)
            return 0;
        int ret=INT_MAX;
        vector<vector<int>> flg=triangle;
        int level=1;
        for(;level<triangle.size();level++){
            for(int index=0;index<triangle[level].size();index++){
            if(index==0)
                flg[level][index]=triangle[level][index]+flg[level-1][index];
            else if(index==triangle[level].size()-1)
                flg[level][index]=triangle[level][index]+flg[level-1][index-1];
            else
                flg[level][index]=triangle[level][index]+min(flg[level-1][index-1],flg[level-1][index]);
            }
        }
        level--;
        for(int index=0;index<flg[level].size();index++){
                ret=ret>flg[level][index]?flg[level][index]:ret;
        }
        return ret;
        
    }
};

2.从下往上遍历，思路差不多，但是不需要考虑第一个和最后一个位置只有一条路径的情况

参考：http://www.tuicool.com/articles/i22yam

int minimumTotal(vector<vector<int>>& triangle) {
        //return dfs(triangle,0,0);//超时
        if(triangle.size()<=0)
            return 0;
        vector<vector<int>> flg=triangle;
        int level=triangle.size()-2;
        for(;level>=0;level--){
            for(int index=0;index<triangle[level].size();index++){
                flg[level][index]=triangle[level][index]+min(flg[level+1][index+1],flg[level+1][index]);
            }
        }
        return flg[0][0];
    }
