Solution: House Robber II
Explore how to tackle the House Robber II problem using dynamic programming. Understand the constraints of robbing houses arranged in a circle and learn how to optimize the maximum amount stolen without alerting alarms. This lesson guides you through both naive and optimized bottom-up approaches, highlighting time and space complexity improvements.
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.
