<p>Given a <code>triangle</code> array, return <em>the minimum path sum from top to bottom</em>.</p>

<p>For each step, you may move to an adjacent number of the row below. More formally, if you are on index <code>i</code> on the current row, you may move to either index <code>i</code> or index <code>i + 1</code> on the next row.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> triangle = [[2],[3,4],[6,5,7],[4,1,8,3]]
<strong>Output:</strong> 11
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The triangle looks like:
   <u>2</u>
  <u>3</u> 4
 6 <u>5</u> 7
4 <u>1</u> 8 3
The minimum path sum from top to bottom is 2 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 11 (underlined above).
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> triangle = [[-10]]
<strong>Output:</strong> -10
</pre>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= triangle.length &lt;= 200</code></li>
	<li><code>triangle[0].length == 1</code></li>
	<li><code>triangle[i].length == triangle[i - 1].length + 1</code></li>
	<li><code>-10<sup>4</sup> &lt;= triangle[i][j] &lt;= 10<sup>4</sup></code></li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<strong>Follow up:</strong> Could you&nbsp;do this using only <code>O(n)</code> extra space, where <code>n</code> is the total number of rows in the triangle?
class Solution:
    def minimumTotal(self, a: List[List[int]]) -> int:
        n = len(a)
        dp = [[float("-inf")] *(i + 1) for i in range(n)]

        def ans(i, j, n, a, dp):

            if i == n - 1:
                return a[i][j]

            if dp[i][j] != float("-inf"):
                return dp[i][j]
            left = right = float("inf")
            left = a[i][j] + ans(i + 1, j, n, a, dp)
            right = a[i][j] + ans(i + 1, j + 1, n, a, dp)
            dp[i][j] = min(left, right)
            return dp[i][j]
        return ans(0, 0, n, a, dp)
