2428. Maximum Sum of an Hourglass
Description
You are given an m x n
integer matrix grid
.
We define an hourglass as a part of the matrix with the following form:
Return the maximum sum of the elements of an hourglass.
Note that an hourglass cannot be rotated and must be entirely contained within the matrix.
Example 1:
Input: grid = [[6,2,1,3],[4,2,1,5],[9,2,8,7],[4,1,2,9]] Output: 30 Explanation: The cells shown above represent the hourglass with the maximum sum: 6 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 9 + 2 + 8 = 30.
Example 2:
Input: grid = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] Output: 35 Explanation: There is only one hourglass in the matrix, with the sum: 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 35.
Constraints:
m == grid.length
n == grid[i].length
3 <= m, n <= 150
0 <= grid[i][j] <= 106
Solutions
Solution 1: Enumeration
We observe from the problem statement that each hourglass is a $3 \times 3$ matrix with the first and last elements of the middle row removed. Therefore, we can start from the top left corner, enumerate the middle coordinate $(i, j)$ of each hourglass, then calculate the sum of the elements in the hourglass, and take the maximum value.
The time complexity is $O(m \times n)$, where $m$ and $n$ are the number of rows and columns of the matrix, respectively. The space complexity is $O(1)$.
