题目

By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent numbers on the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23.

That is, 3+7+4+9=23.

Find the maximum total from top to bottom of the triangle below:

NOTE: As there are only 16384routes, it is possible to solve this problem by trying every route. However, Problem 67, is the same challenge with a triangle containing one-hundred rows; it cannot be solved by brute force, and requires a clever method! ;o)

解答

首先是读一个这个三角形的数据,以一个list of list的形式存储。

def parse_tri(x):  
    y = x.split("\n")[1:-1]  
    res = []  
    for i in range(len(y)):  
        ln = [int(j) for j in y[i].split(' ')]  
        res.append(ln)  
    return res

然后从上往下走,我们可以累加下来,只存最佳路径的加和。那么首先是两行的相加。

def myadd(x, y):  
    n = len(y)  
    res = [0] * n  
  
    for i in range(n):  
        if i == 0:  
            res[i] = x[i] + y[i]  
        elif i == (n-1):  
            res[i] = x[i-1] + y[i]  
        else:  
            tmp1 = x[i] + y[i]  
            tmp2 = x[i-1] + y[i]  
            res[i] = max(tmp1, tmp2)   
    return(res)

再来就是整个三角形加起来,到最底下一行的最优路径。

def tri_add(tri):  
    res = tri[0]  
    for i in range(1, len(tri)):  
        res = myadd(res, tri[i])  
    return res

那整体最大值,就是最后这一行加和的最大值了,解这个题的函数就可以简单地写成:

def solution18(x):  
    y = parse_tri(x)  
    res = tri_add(y)  
    return max(res)

那么解题就是:
