programming</h1>
|
||
<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>

<p>Because of the choice of <code>TreeMap</code>, we had to additionally define the ordering

<p>In the <code>longestSlideDown</code> you can notice that the computation which used to be

<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"> |
