120. Triangle

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]
]

The minimum path sum from top to bottom is 11 (i.e., 2 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 11).

Note:

Bonus point if you are able to do this using only O(n) extra space, where n is the total number of rows in the triangle.

Solutions (Rust)

1. Solution

impl Solution {
    pub fn minimum_total(triangle: Vec<Vec<i32>>) -> i32 {
        let mut triangle = triangle;

        for r in 1..triangle.len() {
            triangle[r][0] += triangle[r - 1][0];
            triangle[r][r] += triangle[r - 1][r - 1];
            for i in 1..(triangle[r].len() - 1) {
                triangle[r][i] += triangle[r - 1][i - 1].min(triangle[r - 1][i])
            }
        }

        *triangle.last().unwrap().iter().min().unwrap()
    }
}
