regardless of being in the base case. Those are the <code>1</code>s in both cases.</li><li>If we are not in the base case, we move one row down <strong>twice</strong>. That's how we

obtained <code>2 *</code> and <code>y + 1</code> in the <em>otherwise</em> case.</li><li>We move row-by-row, so we move down <code>y</code>-times and each call splits to two

|
||
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 id="fnref-2"><a href="#fn-2" class="footnote-ref">2</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="math math-inline"><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></span>.</p><p>However for the sake of simplicity, we are going to account only for the
