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.

这题目最开始想着二分,但是发现二分并不一定能带来最优,最后发现思路是类似于扔鸡蛋一样的DP
f[l][r]=min(x+max(f[l][x-1],f[x+1][r])) 其中x-1>=l,x+1<=r,对应的代码是:
class Solution:
def getMoneyAmount(self, n):
f = [[0] * (n + 1) for _ in range(n + 1)]
for i in range(1,n):
f[i][i+1] = i
for w in range(2,n):
for l in range(1,n+1-w):
r=l+w
f[l][r] = min(x+max(f[x+1][r],f[l][x-1])
for x in range(l+1,r))
return f[1][n]
