Problem:
In a N x N grid representing a field of cherries, each cell is one of three possible integers. 0 means the cell is empty, so you can pass through; 1 means the cell contains a cherry, that you can pick up and pass through; -1 means the cell contains a thorn that blocks your way. Your task is to collect maximum number of cherries possible by following the rules below: Starting at the position (0, 0) and reaching (N-1, N-1) by moving right or down through valid path cells (cells with value 0 or 1); After reaching (N-1, N-1), returning to (0, 0) by moving left or up through valid path cells; When passing through a path cell containing a cherry, you pick it up and the cell becomes an empty cell (0); If there is no valid path between (0, 0) and (N-1, N-1), then no cherries can be collected.
Example 1:
Input: grid = [[0, 1, -1], [1, 0, -1], [1, 1, 1]] Output: 5 Explanation: The player started at (0, 0) and went down, down, right right to reach (2, 2). 4 cherries were picked up during this single trip, and the matrix becomes [[0,1,-1],[0,0,-1],[0,0,0]]. Then, the player went left, up, up, left to return home, picking up one more cherry. The total number of cherries picked up is 5, and this is the maximum possible.
Note:
Grid is an N by N 2D array, with 1 <= N <= 50.
Each grid[i][j] is an integer in the set {-1, 0, 1}.
It is guaranteed that grid[0][0] and grid[N-1][N-1] are not -1.
思路: 先出再回来。实际上可以看作两条出发的线抵达N-1即可。此处的trick在于被选择后的状态该如何记录。实际上如果去的时候两条路线重合的话只会加一次cherry。此题采用递归+记忆化的手段,当然因为借鉴了别人的思路,所以具体的解题演变过程在此处就无法展示了。在代码中列举一些自己的comment吧。
Java版本:

n = grid.length;
m = grid[0].length;
v = new int[n][m];

if (v[nx2][ny2] == -1) continue;
if (nx1 == nx2 && ny1 == ny2) {
