Cherry Pickup II

You are given a rows x cols matrix grid representing a field of cherries where grid[i][j] represents the number of cherries that you can collect from the (i, j) cell.

You have two robots that can collect cherries for you:

  • Robot #1 is located at the top-left corner (0, 0).
  • Robot #2 is located at the top-right corner (0, cols - 1).

Return the maximum number of cherries collection using both robots by following the rules below:

  • From a cell (i, j), robots can move to cell (i + 1, j - 1), (i + 1, j), or (i + 1, j + 1).
  • When any robot passes through a cell, it picks up all cherries, and the cell becomes an empty cell.
  • When both robots stay in the same cell, only one takes the cherries.
  • Both robots cannot move outside of the grid at any moment.
  • Both robots should reach the bottom row in grid.
Example 1
3 1 1
2 5 1
1 5 5
2 1 1
Inputgrid = [[3,1,1],[2,5,1],[1,5,5],[2,1,1]]
Output24
Robot #1 collects 12 cherries and Robot #2 collects 12 cherries, for a total of 24.
Example 2
1 0 0 0 0 0 1
2 0 0 0 0 3 0
2 0 9 0 0 0 0
0 3 0 5 4 0 0
1 0 2 3 0 0 6
Inputgrid = [[1,0,0,0,0,0,1],[2,0,0,0,0,3,0],[2,0,9,0,0,0,0],[0,3,0,5,4,0,0],[1,0,2,3,0,0,6]]
Output28
Robot #1 collects 17 cherries and Robot #2 collects 11 cherries, for a total of 28.

Constraints

  • rows == grid.length
  • cols == grid[i].length
  • 2 <= rows, cols <= 70
  • 0 <= grid[i][j] <= 100
