Solution: Cherry Pickup

Explore how to solve the Cherry Pickup problem using dynamic programming by modeling two synchronized traversals across a grid. Understand the state memoization and recursion strategy that maximizes cherry collection while avoiding obstacles in an n by n grid.

Statement

You are given an n×nn \times n grid representing a field of cherries. Each cell in the grid can have one of three possible values:

  • 00: An empty cell that can be walked through

  • 11: A cell containing a cherry that can be picked and then passed through

  • ...
