1140. Stone Game II

Medium

Alice and Bob continue their games with piles of stones. There are a number of piles arranged in a row, and each pile has a positive integer number of stones piles[i]. The objective of the game is to end with the most stones.

Alice and Bob take turns, with Alice starting first. Initially, M = 1.

On each player’s turn, that player can take all the stones in the first X remaining piles, where 1 <= X <= 2M. Then, we set M = max(M, X).

The game continues until all the stones have been taken.

Assuming Alice and Bob play optimally, return the maximum number of stones Alice can get.

Example 1:

Input: piles = [2,7,9,4,4]

Output: 10

Explanation: If Alice takes one pile at the beginning, Bob takes two piles, then Alice takes 2 piles again. Alice can get 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 piles in total. If Alice takes two piles at the beginning, then Bob can take all three piles left. In this case, Alice get 2 + 7 = 9 piles in total. So we return 10 since it’s larger.

Example 2:

Input: piles = [1,2,3,4,5,100]

Output: 104

        }
        if (dp[i][m] != -1) {

        var total = 0
        for (j in 0 until 2 * m) {
            if (i + j < p.size) {
                total += p[i + j]
                ans = Math.max(ans, total - help(i + j + 1, Math.max(m, j + 1), p))
            }

        dp[i][m] = ans
        return ans
