【LeetCode】213. House Robber II

House Robber II

Note: This is an extension of House Robber.

After robbing those houses on that street, the thief has found himself a new place for his thievery so that he will not get too much attention. This time, all houses at this place are arranged in a circle. That means the first house is the neighbor of the last one. Meanwhile, the security system for these houses remain the same as for those in the previous street.

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

与House Robber的差异在于，nums[0]和nums[n-1]不能同时包含，

因此等同于nums[0...n-2]和nums[1...n-1]两者间取较大值。

class Solution {
public:
int rob(vector<int>& nums) {
if(nums.empty())
return 0;
if(nums.size() == 1)
return nums[0];
vector<int> nums1(nums);
vector<int> nums2(nums);
nums1.erase(nums1.begin());
nums2.pop_back();
return max(originRob(nums1), originRob(nums2));
}
int originRob(vector<int>& nums)
{
if(nums.empty())
return 0;
int prev2 = 0;
int prev1 = nums[0];
for(int i = 1; i < nums.size(); i ++)
{
int cur = max(prev2+nums[i], prev1);
prev2 = prev1;
prev1 = cur;
}
return prev1;
}
};
