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.

 

 

class Solution {
public:
    int minimumTotal(vector<vector<int> > &triangle) {
        int n = triangle.size();
        if (n == 0) return 0;
        vector<int> res(n);
        res[0] = triangle[0][0];
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            res[i] = res[i-1] + triangle[i][i];
            for (int j = i - 1; j > 0; j--) {
                res[j] = min(res[j-1], res[j]) + triangle[i][j]; 
            }
            res[0] += triangle[i][0];
        }
        int x =res[0];
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) 
            if (x > res[i]) x = res[i];
        return x;
    }
