Solution: House Robber II
Explore solving the House Robber II problem using dynamic programming by maximizing the amount stolen from houses arranged in a circle. Learn to implement an optimized bottom-up approach that respects adjacency constraints and reduces space complexity, enabling efficient solutions to similar algorithmic challenges.
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:
-
money.length -
