DCEPC14H - Watchers On The Wall
John Snow has been recently appointed commander of the nights watch, And as his first task he needs to defend castle black against the wildlings army again.
Mance Rayder, commander of the wildlings has assembled a fierce army consisting of Giants, Thenns, Hornfoots, Ice-river clans, cave people each having different fighting abilities
John has built various towers in the area. From each tower a cannon can be fired in all or some of the four direction (N, W, E, S) which destroys all enemies in its way until it is blocked by a wall or a tower. John has only one shot before the sunrise so he want to cause maximum damage.
Your task is to help john assign directions (possibly all / none) to shoot cannons for each tower such that total damage is maximized. However no two cannons should cross paths without any wall or tower in between.
John can also choose not to shoot any cannons from any tower.
All cannons are fired simultaneously.
Input
A grid of size N each position in grid can be:
'#' wall,
'T' tower,
‘0’ denoting empty space,
integer(1-9) denoting the ability of enemy.
First line is N size of the grid.
next n lines specifies the grid.
Output
Out put a single integer- maximum possible damage in one shot.
Constraints
N <= 500
number of cannons <= 200
Example
Input: 4 T000 1#T3 292T 9000 Output: 17
Input: 4 T000 1003 292T 9000 Output: 16

@quartus it's simply means that there will be at most 200 'T' in any given grid. |

could you plz explain how the first case has 17 as output? Does the question mean that only 1 tower can make a shot or evdry tower can a shot?? |

@dce_coders: When the specs say at most 200 "cannons," what does this count, exactly? Are there exactly 4 cannons per tower (one in each of the cardinal directions) or only 1 cannon per tower (that can be fired possibly in multiple directions) or does the number 200 reflect something else, such as the number of vantage points not adjacent to exterior or wall? For example, for the T in the upper left corner in the two examples: does that tower have 4 cannons, 2, or 1? |
