Find maximum possible stolen value from houses using constant Space

By carefully observing the DP array, it can be seen that the values of the previous two indices matter while calculating the value for an index. To replace the total DP array with two variables.

Follow the below steps to Implement the idea:

  1. Tackle some basic cases, if the length of the array is 0, print 0, if the length of the array is 1, print the first element, if the length of the array is 2, print a maximum of two elements.
  2. Create two variables value1 and value2, value1 as array[0] and value2 as maximum of array[0] and array[1] and a variable max_val to store the answer
  3. Traverse the array from the second element (2nd index) to the end of the array.
  4. For every index, update max_val as the maximum of value1 + array[i] and value2, this step defines the two cases, if an element is selected then the previous element cannot be selected and if an element is not selected then the previous element can be selected.
  5. For every index, Update value1 = value2 and value2 = max_val
  6. Print the value of max_val

Below is the Implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to find the maximum stolen value
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
  
// calculate the maximum stolen value
int maxLoot(int* hval, int n)
{
    if (n == 0)
        return 0;
  
    int value1 = hval[0];
    if (n == 1)
        return value1;
  
    int value2 = max(hval[0], hval[1]);
    if (n == 2)
        return value2;
  
    // contains maximum stolen value at the end
    int max_val;
  
    // Fill remaining positions
    for (int i = 2; i < n; i++) {
        max_val = max(hval[i] + value1, value2);
        value1 = value2;
        value2 = max_val;
    }
  
    return max_val;
}

{
    // Value of houses

Output

Maximum loot possible : 19

Time Complexity: O(N), Only one traversal of the original array is needed. So the time complexity is O(N).
Auxiliary Space: O(1), No extra space is required so the space complexity is constant.

 



Find maximum possible stolen value from houses (House Robber)

There are N houses built in a line, each of which contains some value in it. A thief is going to steal the maximum value of these houses, but he can’t steal in two adjacent houses because the owner of the stolen houses will tell his two neighbors left and right sides. The task is to find what is the maximum stolen value.

Examples: 

Input: hval[] = {6, 7, 1, 3, 8, 2, 4}
Output: 19
Explanation: The thief will steal 6, 1, 8 and 4 from the house.

Input: hval[] = {5, 3, 4, 11, 2}
Output: 16
Explanation: Thief will steal 5 and 11

Naive Approach: Below is the idea to solve the problem:

Given an array, the solution is to find the maximum sum subsequence where no two selected elements are adjacent. So the approach to the problem is a recursive solution. 

So there are two cases:

  1. If an element is selected then the next element cannot be selected.
  2. if an element is not selected then the next element can be selected.

Use recursion to find the result for both cases.

Below is the Implementation of the above approach:

C++




// CPP program to find the maximum stolen value
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
  
// calculate the maximum stolen value
int maxLoot(int* hval, int n)
{
    // base case
    if (n < 0) {
        return 0;
    }
  
    if (n == 0) {
        return hval[0];
    }
    // if current element is pick then previous cannot be
    // picked
    int pick = hval[n] + maxLoot(hval, n - 2);
    // if current element is not picked then previous
    // element is picked
    int notPick = maxLoot(hval, n - 1);
  
    // return max of picked and not picked
    return max(pick, notPick);
}
  
// Driver to test above code
int main()
{
    int hval[] = { 6, 7, 1, 3, 8, 2, 4 };
    int n = sizeof(hval) / sizeof(hval[0]);
    cout << "Maximum loot possible : "
         << maxLoot(hval, n - 1);
    return 0;
