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).
// compute shortest path in topological order
public class Solution {
public int minimumTotal(ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> triangle) {
int[] dp = new int[triangle.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < triangle.size(); i++) {
if (i == 0) {
dp[0] = triangle.get(0).get(0);
continue;
}
// backward
for (int j = i; j >= 0; j--) {
int val1 = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int val2 = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
if (j != 0) val1 = dp[j-1];
if (j != i) val2 = dp[j];
dp[j] = triangle.get(i).get(j).intValue() + (val1 < val2 ? val1 : val2);
}
}
int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for (int i = 0; i < triangle.size(); i++) {
if (dp[i] < min) min = dp[i];
}
return min;
}
