Plumber
Our favourite plumber is on his way to save the princess located in the castle.
The castle is represented by a 2-D grid that contains obstacles (denoted by -1
) and coins (denoted by 1
).
Empty squares in the castle are denoted by 0
.
Our plumber will always start at the first row in the grid and the princess will always be at the last row in the grid. On the plumber's way to save the princess (reach any position in the last row), what is the maximal number of coins that can be obtained?
Restrictions:
- The plumber can only move down, right, and left, but never up.
- The plumber cannot move through the obstacles.
If the plumber cannot reach the last row, return -1
.
Input
grid
: Grid containing the castle layout
Output
Integer representing the maximal number of coins that can be obtained, return -1
if the plumber cannot reach the last row.

Input:
1grid = [[0, 0], [1, 1]]
Output: 2
Explanation:
Both of the coins can be collected on the way to the princess.
Example 2:
Input:
1grid = [[0, 0, 1], [0, 0, -1], [0, 0, 0]]
Output: 1
Explanation:
After getting the coin in the first row, the plumber can move to the left and down to avoid the obstacle.
Example 3:
Input:
1grid = [[1,0,-1,1,0,1],[1,-1,1,-1,1,-1],[0,0,-1,-1,1,1]]
Output: 5
