1463. Cherry Pickup II

https://leetcode.com/problems/cherry-pickup-ii

Description

Given a rows x cols matrix grid representing a field of cherries. Each cell in grid represents the number of cherries that you can collect.

You have two robots that can collect cherries for you, Robot #1 is located at the top-left corner (0,0) , and Robot #2 is located at the top-right corner (0, cols-1) of the grid.

Return the maximum number of cherries collection using both robots by following the rules below:

  • From a cell (i,j), robots can move to cell (i+1, j-1) , (i+1, j) or (i+1, j+1).

  • When any robot is passing through a cell, It picks it up all cherries, and the cell becomes an empty cell (0).

  • When both robots stay on the same cell, only one of them takes the cherries.

  • Both robots cannot move outside of the grid at any moment.

  • Both robots should reach the bottom row in the grid.

Example 1:

**Input:** grid = [[3,1,1],[2,5,1],[1,5,5],[2,1,1]]
**Output:** 24
**Explanation:** Path of robot #1 and #2 are described in color green and blue respectively.
Cherries taken by Robot #1, (3 + 2 + 5 + 2) = 12.
Cherries taken by Robot #2, (1 + 5 + 5 + 1) = 12.
Total of cherries: 12 + 12 = 24.

Example 2:

Example 3:

Example 4:

Constraints:

  • rows == grid.length

  • cols == grid[i].length

  • 2 <= rows, cols <= 70

  • 0 <= grid[i][j] <= 100
