312. Burst Balloons
Given n
balloons, indexed from 0
to n-1
. Each balloon is painted with a number on it represented by array nums
. You are asked to burst all the balloons. If the you burst balloon i
you will get nums[left] * nums[i] * nums[right]
coins. Here left
and right
are adjacent indices of i
. After the burst, the left
and right
then becomes adjacent.
Find the maximum coins you can collect by bursting the balloons wisely.
Note:
(1) You may imagine nums[-1] = nums[n] = 1
. They are not real therefore you can not burst them.
(2) 0 ≤ n
≤ 500, 0 ≤ nums[i]
≤ 100
Example:
Given [3, 1, 5, 8]
Return 167
nums = [3,1,5,8] --> [3,5,8] --> [3,8] --> [8] --> [] coins = 3*1*5 + 3*5*8 + 1*3*8 + 1*8*1 = 167
