Explore how to apply dynamic programming to solve the House Robber II problem where houses are arranged in a circle. Understand constraints and strategies to find the optimal solution and practice implementing it.

Statement

A professional robber plans to rob some houses along a street. These houses are arranged in a circle, which means that the first and the last house are neighbors. The robber cannot rob adjacent houses because they have security alarms installed.

Following the constraints mentioned above and given an integer array money representing the amount of money in each house, return the maximum amount the robber can steal without alerting the police.

Constraints:

  • 11\leq money.length 103\leq 10^3
  • 00\leq money[i] 103\leq 10^3
