Leetcode Solutions

Approach # Using Dynamic Programming

  1. Initialize a 2D array dp of size (n+1) x (n+1) with all elements set to 0.
  2. Loop over the lengths of ranges from 2 to n.
  3. For each length len, loop over all possible starting points i of the range.
  4. Calculate the ending point j of the range as i + len - 1.
  5. For each range (i, j), try every possible pivot k from i to j.
  6. Calculate the cost for each pivot as k + max(dp[i][k-1], dp[k+1][j]).
  7. Take the minimum of these costs to fill dp[i][j].
  8. After filling the entire dp table, return dp[1][n] as the answer.
