Problem

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.

Solution: DP

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(1)

int minimumTotal(vector<vector<int>>& t) {

int n = t.size();

// t[i][j] := minTotalOf(i,j)

// t[i][j] += min(t[i - 1][j], t[i - 1][j - 1])

for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)

for (int j = 0; j <= i; ++j) {

if (i == 0 && j == 0) continue;

if (j == 0) t[i][j] += t[i - 1][j];

else if (j == i) t[i][j] += t[i - 1][j - 1];

else t[i][j] += min(t[i - 1][j], t[i - 1][j - 1]);

}

return *std::min_element(begin(t.back()), end(t.back()));

}

};
