题目:
Alex and Lee continue their games with piles of stones. There are a number of piles arranged in a row, and each pile has a positive integer number of stones piles[i]
. The objective of the game is to end with the most stones.
Alex and Lee take turns, with Alex starting first. Initially, M = 1
.
On each player's turn, that player can take all the stones in the first X
remaining piles, where 1 <= X <= 2M
. Then, we set M = max(M, X)
.
The game continues until all the stones have been taken.
Assuming Alex and Lee play optimally, return the maximum number of stones Alex can get.
Example 1:
Input: piles = [2,7,9,4,4] Output: 10 Explanation: If Alex takes one pile at the beginning, Lee takes two piles, then Alex takes 2 piles again. Alex can get 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 piles in total. If Alex takes two piles at the beginning, then Lee can take all three piles left. In this case, Alex get 2 + 7 = 9 piles in total. So we return 10 since it's larger.
Constraints:
1 <= piles.length <= 100
1 <= piles[i] <= 10 ^ 4
题解:
For the current play A, if 2*M could reach the end of piles array, then A get them all.
Otherwise, A gets all - the minimum player could get. Cash value hash[i][M], which means max value from current i with value of M, in case of duplicate calculation.
Time Complexity: O(2^n). dfs takes time T(n). T(n) = O(1) + 2*M*T(n-x).
Space: O(n^2).
