{{task}}

Starting from the top of a pyramid of numbers like this, you can walk down going one step on the right or on the left, until you reach the bottom row:


                          55
                        94 48
                       95 30 96
                     77 71 26 67

One of such walks is 55 - 94 - 30 - 26. You can compute the total of the numbers you have seen in such walk, in this case it's 205.

Your problem is to find the maximum total among all possible paths from the top to the bottom row of the triangle. In the little example above it's 321.

;Task: Find the maximum total in the triangle below:


                          55
                        94 48
                       95 30 96
                     77 71 26 67
                    97 13 76 38 45
                  07 36 79 16 37 68
                 48 07 09 18 70 26 06
               18 72 79 46 59 79 29 90
              20 76 87 11 32 07 07 49 18
            27 83 58 35 71 11 25 57 29 85
           14 64 36 96 27 11 58 56 92 18 55
         02 90 03 60 48 49 41 46 33 36 47 23
        92 50 48 02 36 59 42 79 72 20 82 77 42
      56 78 38 80 39 75 02 71 66 66 01 03 55 72
     44 25 67 84 71 67 11 61 40 57 58 89 40 56 36
   85 32 25 85 57 48 84 35 47 62 17 01 01 99 89 52
  06 71 28 75 94 48 37 10 23 51 06 48 53 18 74 98 15
27 02 92 23 08 71 76 84 15 52 92 63 81 10 44 10 69 93

Such numbers can be included in the solution code, or read from a "triangle.txt" file.

This task is derived from the [http://projecteuler.net/problem=18 Euler Problem #18].

=={{Header|Fortran}}== This being Fortran, why not a brute-force scan of all possible paths? This is eased by noting that from a given position, only two numbers are accessible, and always two numbers. Just like binary digits. So, for three levels, the choices would be 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111 or somesuch. Since however the pinnacle of the pyramid is always chosen, there is no choice there so the digits would be 100, 101, 110, 111.

A triangular array can be defined in some languages, and in some circumstances a square array is used with a lower triangle and upper triangle partition, but here, a simple linear array is in order, with some attention to subscript usage. The first layer has one number, the second has two, the third has three, ... easy enough. The more refined method that determines the maximum sum without ascertaining the path through working upwards from the base employs a FOR ALL statement in adding the maximum of the two possible descendants to each brick in the current layer, employing array BEST that starts off with all the values of the bottom layer. As each layer is one value shorter than the one below and the expression computes BEST(i) = ... + MAX(BEST(i),BEST(i + 1)) the special feature of the FORALL statement, that ''all'' rhs expressions are evaluated before ''any'' results are placed on the lhs is not needed if a DO-loop were to be used instead.

For input, free-format is convenient. Bad input still is a problem, and can lead to puzzles. If say when N values are to be read but an input line is short of numbers, then additional lines will be read and confusion is likely. So, read the file's record into a text variable and then extract the expected N values from that. Should a problem arise, then the troublesome record can be shown.

padTri=: 0 ". ];._2                  NB. parse triangle and (implicitly) pad with zeros
maxSum=: [: {. (+ (0 ,~ 2 >./\ ]))/  NB. find max triangle path sum

'''Example Usage'''

   maxSum padTri freads 'triangle.txt'
1320

Explanation:

First, we pad all short rows with trailing zeros so that all rows are the same length. This eliminates some ambiguity and simplifies the expression of both the data and the code.

Second, starting with the last row, for each pair of numbers we find the largest of the two (resulting in a list slightly shorter than before, so of course we pad it with a trailing zero) and add that row to the previous row. After repeating this through all the rows, the first value of the resulting row is the maximum we were looking for.

Instead of padding, we could instead trim the other argument to match the current reduced row length.

maxsum=: ((] + #@] {. [)2 >./\ ])/

However, this turns out to be a slightly slower approach, because we are doing a little more work for each row.

(Note that the cost of padding every row to the same width averages out to an average 2x cost in space and time. So what we are saying here is that the interpreter overhead for changing the size of the memory region used in each operation with each row winds up being more than a 2x cost. You can probably beat that using compiled code, but of course the cost of compiling the program will itself be more than 2x - so not worth paying in a one-off experiment. You wind up with similar issues in any system involving one-off tests.)

## jq

The following implementation illustrates the use of an inner function as a helper function, which is used here mainly for clarity. The inner function in effect implements the inner loop;
the outer loop is implemented using <tt>reduce</tt>.

The input array is identical to that in the Javascript section and is therefore omitted here.
```jq
# Usage: TRIANGLE | solve
def solve:

  # update(next) updates the input row of maxima:
  def update(next):
    . as $maxima
    | [ range(0; next|length)
       | next[.] + ([$maxima[.], $maxima[. + 1]] | max) ];

  . as $in
  | reduce range(length -2; -1; -1) as $i
      ($in[-1];  update( $in[$i] ) ) ;
