We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:
I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.
Every time you guess wrong, I'll tell you whether the number I picked is higher or lower.
However, when you guess a particular number x, and you guess wrong, you pay $x. You win the game when you guess the number I picked.
Example:
n = 10, I pick 8. First round: You guess 5, I tell you that it's higher. You pay $5. Second round: You guess 7, I tell you that it's higher. You pay $7. Third round: You guess 9, I tell you that it's lower. You pay $9. Game over. 8 is the number I picked. You end up paying $5 + $7 + $9 = $21.
Given a particular n ≥ 1, find out how much money you need to have to guarantee a win.
题目分析: 比较典型的2维DP问题,对于每一个区间的数(l,r), 我们任取其中一个数K,则可将该区域划分为三个空间, (l,k-1), (k), (k+1, r), 则此时所获得的钱数为 count(l, k-1) + k + count(k+1,r), 对l到r区间的所有数都采取相同的方式,并取其中的最小值,我们就可以求得count(l,r), 通过bottom-up的动态规划,去记录每一小段的结果,最终返回(0,n)区间的结果即是该题目的解。
代码如下:
public int getMoneyAmount(int n) {
int[][]M = new int[n+1][n+1];
for(int i = M.length-2; i >=1; i--) {
for (int j = i+1; j < M.length; j++) {
int globalMin = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (int k = i; k < j; k++){
globalMin = Math.min(globalMin, Math.max(k+M[i][k-1], k+M[k+1][j]));
}
M[i][j] = globalMin;
}
}
return M[1][n];
}
