1463. Cherry Pickup II - Day 19/31 Leetcode December Challenge

[@Algorithmist]

Did you pick up all the cherries? You can watch my attempt on this problem during a contest here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aam4oIB_iLd3adU

[@parakhchaudhary7453]

Today's problem is this same one but since you haven't done it yet today I came here to see it XD

[@bismeetsingh352]

if c1==c2, why does c1 always take the cherry?

[@Algorithmist]

They share the same spot, so you only count the cherry once.

@@Algorithmist Correct, but doesn't it matter, which of them takes it, like in cherry pickup 1, the move from top to bottom would affect the outcome going back up.

@@bismeetsingh352 you only care about the total, so no, as long as one of the robots pick it up.. it's is equivalent.
