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.
有两种思路,1是直接递归,求出所有路径中最小的一个。递归有重复计算,我觉得像这种题目应该不是单纯的考察递归,应该会超时,我没有试。
2、dp,声明数组int dp[][] = new int[size][size];i表示第i行,j表示第j个数。
也就是说,dp[i][j]表示从底层到i层第j个数的最小值为多少,那么一直计算到顶层,dp[0][0]就是答案。
Java AC
public class Solution {
public int minimumTotal(ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> triangle) {
if(triangle == null || triangle.isEmpty()){
return 0;
}
int size = triangle.size();
int dp[][] = new int[size][size];
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
dp[size-1][i] = triangle.get(size-1).get(i);
}
for(int i = size-2; i >= 0; i--){
for(int j = 0; j <= i; j++){
dp[i][j] = Math.min(dp[i+1][j],dp[i+1][j+1])
+ triangle.get(i).get(j);
}
}
return dp[0][0];
}
}
