You are a professional robber planning to rob houses along a street. Each house has a certain amount of money stashed. All houses at this place are arranged in a circle. That means the first house is the neighbor of the last one. Meanwhile, adjacent houses have a security system connected, and it will automatically contact the police if two adjacent houses were broken into on the same night.

Given a list of non-negative integers nums representing the amount of money of each house, return the maximum amount of money you can rob tonight without alerting the police.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,3,2]
Output: 3
Explanation: You cannot rob house 1 (money = 2) and then rob house 3 (money = 2), because they are adjacent houses.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,1]
Output: 4
Explanation: Rob house 1 (money = 1) and then rob house 3 (money = 3).
Total amount you can rob = 1 + 3 = 4.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [0]
Output: 0

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 100
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 1000

Solution

Time complexity : O(n)
Space complexity : O(n)

class Solution {
public:
    int rob(vector<int>& nums) {
        int size = nums.size();
        if (0 == size) return 0;
        else if (1 == size) return nums[0];
        
        int rob1 = helper(vector<int>(nums.begin(), nums.end()-1));
        int rob2 = helper(vector<int>(nums.begin()+1, nums.end()));
        return max(rob1, rob2);
    }
private:
    int helper(vector<int> nums) {
        if (nums.empty()) return 0;
        int size = nums.size();
        vector<int> bp(size, 0);
        for (int i=0; i<size; ++i) {
            bp[i] = max((i>1 ? bp[i-2] : 0) + nums[i],
                        (i>0 ? bp[i-1] : 0));
        }
        return bp.back();
    }
};

因頭尾相連,搶了頭就無法搶尾,搶了尾就無法搶頭,故只能拆分為2子問題:

  1. idx = 0~n-2的搶劫。
  2. idx = 1~n-1的搶劫。

子問題再用一列排序,不能相鄰的搶劫解法即可。

目前能搶到最多的金額為:
max(直至上上一棟最好的結果+搶這個房子的獲益, 直至上一棟最好的結果+這棟不搶)
