Multiplication Puzzle
Description
The multiplication puzzle is played with a row of cards, each containing a single positive integer. During the move player takes one card out of the row and scores the number of points equal to the product of the number on the card taken and the numbers on the cards on the left and on the right of it. It is not allowed to take out the first and the last card in the row. After the final move, only two cards are left in the row.
The goal is to take cards in such order as to minimize the total number of scored points. For example, if cards in the row contain numbers 10 1 50 20 5, player might take a card with 1, then 20 and 50, scoring If he would take the cards in the opposite order, i.e. 50, then 20, then 1, the score would be Input
The first line of the input contains the number of cards N (3 <= N <= 100). The second line contains N integers in the range from 1 to 100, separated by spaces.
Output
Output must contain a single integer - the minimal score.
Sample Input 6 10 1 50 50 20 5 Sample Output 3650 Source

给出一串数,n个,从2到n-1个数字中去拿,每次拿都能拿掉1个数字,代价是该数字与相邻的2个数字相乘的积,问最终的最小代价;
从长度为2开始更新最小答案,状态转移方程为dp[i][j]=min{dp[i][j],dp[i][k]+dp[k+1][j]+a[i-1]*a[k]*dp[j]}
#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
#include<cstdio>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n;
while(~scanf("%d",&n))
{
int a[111],dp[111][111];
int i,j,k,len;
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
cin>>a[i];
memset(dp,0,sizeof(dp));
for(len=2;len<n;len++)
{
for(i=2;i+len<=n+1;i++)
{
j=i+len-1;
dp[i][j]=100000000;
