Daily Coding Problem: Problem #672
/** * This problem was asked by Google. You are given an array of arrays of integers, where each array corresponds to a row in a triangle of numbers. For example, [[1], [2, 3], [1, 5, 1]] represents the triangle: 1 2 3 1 5 1 We define a path in the triangle to start at the top and go down one row at a time to an adjacent value, eventually ending with an entry on the bottom row. For example, 1 -> 3 -> 5. The weight of the path is the sum of the entries. Write a program that returns the weight of the maximum weight path. * */ class Problem_672 { fun maxPathWeight(triange: Array<IntArray>): Int { val m = triange.size val n = triange[0].size help(triange, m - 1, n - 1) //result save in top left return triange[0][0] } //loop for bottom up private fun help(triange: Array<IntArray>, m: Int, n: Int) { for (i in m-1 downTo 0) { for (j in 0..i) { if (triange[i + 1][j] > triange[i + 1][j + 1]) { triange[i][j] += triange[i + 1][j] } else { triange[i][j] += triange[i + 1][j + 1] } } } } }
