Description: Path with Maximum Gold
In a gold mine grid
of size m x n
, each cell in this mine has an integer representing the amount of gold in that cell, 0
if it is empty.
Return the maximum amount of gold you can collect under the conditions:
- Every time you are located in a cell you will collect all the gold in that cell.
- From your position, you can walk one step to the left, right, up, or down.
- You can’t visit the same cell more than once.
- Never visit a cell with
0
gold. - You can start and stop collecting gold from any position in the grid that has some gold.
Example 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[0,6,0],[5,8,7],[0,9,0]] <strong>Output:</strong> 24 <strong>Explanation:</strong> [[0,6,0], [5,8,7], [0,9,0]] Path to get the maximum gold, 9 -> 8 -> 7. |
Example 2
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
<strong>Input:</strong> grid = [[1,0,7],[2,0,6],[3,4,5],[0,3,0],[9,0,20]] <strong>Output:</strong> 28 <strong>Explanation:</strong> [[1,0,7], [2,0,6], [3,4,5], [0,3,0], [9,0,20]] Path to get the maximum gold, 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7. |
Constraints
m == grid.length
n == grid[i].length
1 <= m, n <= 15
0 <= grid[i][j] <= 100
- There are at most 25 cells containing gold.

Time Complexity
M*N*3^G, We are only running recursion in 3 direction (except for the starting call), as previous cell is already visited and cannot be visited again, where G indicate gold cells
Space Complexity
O(G), G – Total golden cells in the grid.
As the DFS call can only go so far as to visit all connected Golden cells, it has O(G)O(G)O(G) space complexity.
