花花酱 LeetCode 337. House Robber III

题目大意:给你一棵二叉树,不能同时取两个相邻的节点(parent/child),问最多能取得的节点的值的和是多少。

Problem:

https://leetcode.com/problems/house-robber-iii/description/

The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one entrance to this area, called the “root.” Besides the root, each house has one and only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that “all houses in this place forms a binary tree”. It will automatically contact the police if two directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night.

Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without alerting the police.

Example 1:

     3
    / \
   2   3
    \   \ 
     3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.

Example 2:

     3
    / \
   4   5
  / \   \ 
 1   3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 4 + 5 = 9.

Idea: 

Compare grandparent + max of grandchildren(l.l + l.r + r.l + r.r) vs max of children (l + r)

Solution 1: Recursion w/o memorization 

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Solution 2: Recursion w/ memorization 

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

Solution 3: Recursion return children’s value

Python3
