publicclassGuessNumberHigherorLowerII{ /** * We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows: * * I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked. * * Every time you guess wrong, I'll tell you whether the number I picked is higher or lower. * * However, when you guess a particular number x, and you guess wrong, you pay $x. You win the game when you guess the number I picked. * * Example: * * n = 10, I pick 8. * * First round: You guess 5, I tell you that it's higher. You pay $5. * Second round: You guess 7, I tell you that it's higher. You pay $7. * Third round: You guess 9, I tell you that it's lower. You pay $9. * * Game over. 8 is the number I picked. * * You end up paying $5 + $7 + $9 = $21. * Given a particular n ≥ 1, find out how much money you need to have to guarantee a win. */ publicintgetMoneyAmount(int n){ int[][] dp = newint[n+1][n+1]; int ans = Integer.MAX_VALUE; return helper(dp, 1, n); }
