Question:


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]
]

class Solution {
public:
    int minimumTotal(vector<vector<int> > &triangle) {
        // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
        // DO NOT write int main() function
        int rows = triangle.size();
        if(0 == rows) return 0;
        
        int *minSums = new int[rows];
        int *temp = new int[rows];
        
        for(int r = 0; r < rows; r++) {
            vector<int> vec = triangle[r];
            temp[0] = vec[0] + (r > 0 ? minSums[0] : 0);
            for(int i = 1; i < r; i++) {
                temp[i] = vec[i] + min(minSums[i-1], minSums[i]);
            }
            
            if(r > 0) {
                temp[r] = vec[r] + minSums[r-1];
            }
                
            int *tswap = temp;
            temp = minSums;
            minSums = tswap;
        }
        
        int m = minSums[0];
        for(int i = 1; i < rows; i++) 
        {
            if(minSums[i] < m){
                m = minSums[i];
            } 
        }
        
        delete temp;
        delete minSums;
        return m;
    }
};

注意点:

1) Judge Small is ok, but Judge Large is error

2) 如果迭代很深的话,容易造成压栈占用内存很高,超出段后会溢出
