Path with Maximum Gold

In a gold mine grid of size m x n, each cell in this mine has an integer representing the amount of gold in that cell, or 0 if it is empty.

Return the maximum amount of gold you can collect under the following conditions:

  • Every time you are located in a cell, you will collect all the gold in that cell.
  • From your position, you can walk one step to the left, right, up, or down.
  • You can't visit the same cell more than once.
  • Never visit a cell with 0 gold.
  • You can start and stop collecting gold from any position in the grid that has some gold.
Example 1
0 6 0
5 8 7
0 9 0
Inputgrid = [[0,6,0],[5,8,7],[0,9,0]]
Output24
Path to get the maximum gold is 9 -> 8 -> 7, collecting 24 total gold.
Example 2
 1  0  7
 2  0  6
 3  4  5
 0  3  0
 9  0 20
Inputgrid = [[1,0,7],[2,0,6],[3,4,5],[0,3,0],[9,0,20]]
Output28
Path to get the maximum gold is 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7, collecting 28 total gold.

Constraints

  • m == grid.length
  • n == grid[i].length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 15
  • 0 <= grid[i][j] <= 100
  • There are at most 25 cells containing gold.
