Hackerrank - 2D Array - DS - Solution

Given a  2D Array, :

1 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0

We define an hourglass in  to be a subset of values with indices falling in this pattern in 's graphical representation:

a b c
  d
e f g

There are  hourglasses in , and an hourglass sum is the sum of an hourglass' values. Calculate the hourglass sum for every hourglass in , then print the maximum hourglass sum.

For example, given the 2D array:

-9 -9 -9  1 1 1 
 0 -9  0  4 3 2
-9 -9 -9  1 2 3
 0  0  8  6 6 0
 0  0  0 -2 0 0
 0  0  1  2 4 0

We calculate the following  hourglass values:

-63, -34, -9, 12, 
-10, 0, 28, 23, 
-27, -11, -2, 10, 
9, 17, 25, 18

Our highest hourglass value is  from the hourglass:

0 4 3
  1
8 6 6

• arr: an array of integers

Input Format

Each of the  lines of inputs  contains  space-separated integers .

Constraints

Output Format

Print the largest (maximum) hourglass sum found in .

Sample Input

1 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 2 4 4 0
0 0 0 2 0 0
0 0 1 2 4 0

Sample Output

19

Explanation

contains the following hourglasses:

The hourglass with the maximum sum () is:

2 4 4
  2
1 2 4

Solution in Python#

import sys
d = sys.stdin.read().splitlines()
d = [list(map(int,i.split())) for i in d]
maxval = None
for j in range(4):
    for i in range(4):
        add = d[j][i] + d[j][i+1] + d[j][i+2] + d[j+1][i+1] + d[j+2][i] + d[j+2][i+1] + d[j+2][i+2]
        if maxval ==None:
            maxval=add
        elif add>maxval:
            maxval=add
print(maxval)
