<p><em>Top-down dynamic programming</em> is probably the most common approach, since (at
|
|||
|
least looks like) is the easiest to implement. The whole point is avoiding the
|
|||
|
unnecessary computations that we have already done.</p>
|
|||
|
<p>In our case, we can use our naïve solution and put a <em>cache</em> on top of it that
|
|||
|
will make sure, we don't do unnecessary calculations.</p>

<p>You have probably noticed that <code>record Position</code> have appeared. Since we are
|
|||
|
caching the already computed values, we need a “reasonable” key. In this case we
|
|||
|
share the cache only for one <em>run</em> (i.e. pyramid) of the <code>longestSlideDown</code>, so
|
|||
|
we can cache just with the indices within the pyramid, i.e. the <code>Position</code>.</p>

|
immutable structure with implicitly defined <code>.equals()</code>, <code>.hashCode()</code>,
|
|||
|
<code>.toString()</code> and getters for the attributes.</p></div></div>
|
|||
|
<p>Because of the choice of <code>TreeMap</code>, we had to additionally define the ordering
|
|||
|
on it.</p>
|
|||
|
<p>In the <code>longestSlideDown</code> you can notice that the computation which used to be
|
|||
|
at the end of the naïve version above, is now wrapped in an <code>if</code> statement that
|
|||
|
checks for the presence of the position in the cache and computes the slide down
|
|||
|
just when it's needed.</p>

|
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="time-complexity">Time complexity<a href="#time-complexity" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Time complexity" title="Direct link to Time complexity"></a></h2>
|
|||
|
<p>If you think that evaluating time complexity for this approach is a bit more
|
|||
|
tricky, you are right. Keeping the cache in mind, it is not the easiest thing
|
|||
|
to do. However there are some observations that might help us figure this out:</p>
|
|||
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
<li>Slide down from each position is calculated only once.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>Once calculated, we use the result from the cache.</li>
|
|||
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
<p>Knowing this, we still cannot, at least easily, describe the time complexity of
|
|||
|
finding the best slide down from a specific position, <strong>but</strong> we can bound it
|
|||
|
from above for the <strong>whole</strong> run from the top. Now the question is how we can do
|
|||
|
that!</p>
|
|||
|
<p>Overall we are doing the same things for almost<sup><a href="#user-content-fn-1" id="user-content-fnref-1" data-footnote-ref="true" aria-describedby="footnote-label">1</a></sup> all of the positions within
|
|||
|
the pyramid:</p>
|
|||
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
<li>
|
|||
|
<p>We calculate and store it (using the partial results stored in cache). This
|
|||
|
is done only once.</p>
|
|||
|
<p>For each calculation we take 2 values from the cache and insert one value.
|
|||
|
Because we have chosen <code>TreeMap</code>, these 3 operations have logarithmic time
|
|||
|
complexity and therefore this step is equivalent to <span class="katex"><span class="katex-mathml"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mn>3</mn><mo>⋅</mo><msub><mrow><mi>log</mi><mo></mo></mrow><mn>2</mn></msub><mi>n</mi></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">3 \cdot \log_2{n}</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.6444em"></span><span class="mord">3</span><span class="mspace" style="margin-right:0.2222em"></span><span class="mbin">⋅</span><span class="mspace" style="margin-right:0.2222em"></span></span><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.9386em;vertical-align:-0.2441em"></span><span class="mop"><span class="mop">lo<span style="margin-right:0.01389em">g</span></span><span class="msupsub"><span class="vlist-t vlist-t2"><span class="vlist-r"><span class="vlist" style="height:0.207em"><span style="top:-2.4559em;margin-right:0.05em"><span class="pstrut" style="height:2.7em"></span><span class="sizing reset-size6 size3 mtight"><span class="mord mtight">2</span></span></span></span><span class="vlist-s"></span></span><span class="vlist-r"><span class="vlist" style="height:0.2441em"><span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span class="mspace" style="margin-right:0.1667em"></span><span class="mord"><span class="mord mathnormal">n</span></span></span></span></span>.</p>
|
|||
|
<p>However for the sake of simplicity, we are going to account only for the
|
|||
|
insertion, the reason is rather simple, if we include the 2 retrievals here,
|
|||
|
it will be interleaved with the next step, therefore it is easier to keep the

retrievals in the following point.</p>
