Solution: Triangle

Explore how to solve the minimum path sum problem in a triangle using dynamic programming. Understand optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems by working from the bottom row to the top, updating path costs efficiently. This lesson helps you implement a bottom-up approach with O(n^2) time and O(n) space complexity to find the most efficient route through the triangle.

Statement

Given an array, triangle, return the minimum path sum from top to bottom.

You may move to an adjacent number in the row below at each step. More formally, if you are at index ii in the current row, you may move to either index ii ...
