Solution: House Robber II
Explore how to apply dynamic programming to solve the House Robber II problem. Learn to maximize the robbery amount from circularly arranged houses without robbing adjacent ones. Understand the transition from naive recursive solutions to optimized iterative approaches that balance time and space complexity.
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:
-
