Leetcode Problem 2247. Maximum Cost of Trip With K Highways

2247. Maximum Cost of Trip With K Highways

Leetcode Solutions

Bitmask Dynamic Programming

  1. Handle the base case where k is greater than or equal to n, which means it's impossible to have a valid trip. Return -1 in this case.
  2. Initialize the dynamic programming array dp with -1 to indicate that no path has been found yet.
  3. Set the base case in the dp array for paths that include only one city to have a cost of 0.
  4. Iterate over all possible bitmasks representing sets of visited cities.
  5. For each bitmask, iterate over all cities u that are included in the bitmask.
  6. For each city u, iterate over all cities v that are not yet visited.
  7. If there is a highway between u and v, and if there is a valid path ending at u, update the dp array for the new mask that includes v.
  8. After filling the dp array, iterate over all masks that have exactly k + 1 bits set (representing k highways used) and find the maximum cost among all paths ending at any city.
  9. Return the maximum cost found, or -1 if no valid path exists.
