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.<lang jq># Usage: TRIANGLE | solve

Task
Maximum triangle path sum
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

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 Euler Problem #18.

  1. working backwards, we replace the elements of each row with the sum of that #
  2. element and the maximum of the two elements below it. #
  3. That destroys the triangle but leaves element [1][1] equal to the required #
  4. maximum #


FOR row FROM UPB triangle - 1 BY -1 TO 1 DO 

   FOR element FROM 1 TO UPB triangle[row]
   DO

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 reduce.

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

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

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

Perl 6

The Z+ and Zmax are examples of the zipwith metaoperator. We ought to be able to use [Z+]= as an assignment operator here, but rakudo has a bug. Note also we can use the Zmax metaoperator form because max is define as an infix in Perl 6. <lang perl6>my @rows = slurp("triangle.txt").lines.map: { [.words] }

while @rows > 1 { 

   my @last := @rows.pop;
   @rows[*-1] = @rows[*-1][] Z+ (@last Zmax @last[1..*]);

}

say @rows;</lang>

Output:
1320

Here's a more FPish version with the same output. We define our own operator and the use it in the reduction metaoperator form, [op], which turns any infix into a list operator. <lang perl6>sub infix:<op>(@a,@b) { (@a Zmax @a[1..*]) Z+ @b }

say [op] slurp("triangle.txt").lines.reverse.map: { [.words] }</lang> Instead of using reverse, one could also define the op as right-associative. <lang perl6>sub infix:<op>(@a,@b) is assoc('right') { @a Z+ (@b Zmax @b[1..*]) }

say [op] slurp("triangle.txt").lines.map: { [.words] }</lang>

Translation of: Python

The two Python solutions: <lang zkl>tri:=File("triangle.txt").pump(List,fcn(s){ s.strip().split(" ").apply("toInt") }).copy(); while(tri.len()>1){ 

  t0:=tri.pop();
  t1:=tri.pop();
  tri.append( [[(it); t1.enumerate();

'wrap([(i,t)]){ t + t0[i].max(t0[i+1]) }]]) } tri[0][0].println();</lang> <lang zkl>data:=File("triangle.txt").pump(List,fcn(s){ s.strip().split(" ").apply("toInt") }); fcn f(x,y,z){ x + y.max(z) } fcn g(xs,ys){ Utils.zipWith(f,ys,xs,xs[1,*]); } data.reverse().reduce(g)[0].println();</lang>

Translation of: Go

<lang zkl>lines:=File("triangle.txt").pump(List,fcn(s){ s.strip().split(" ").apply("toInt") }); d:=lines[-1].copy(); foreach row in ([lines.len()-2..0,-1]){ 

  d1:=d[1,*];

  foreach i,u in (lines[row].enumerate()){
      d[i] = u + l.max(r:=d1[i]);
      l    = r;
   }

} println(d[0]);</lang>
