Switch branches/tags

Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

Given n balloons, indexed from 0 to n-1. Each balloon is painted with a number on it represented by array nums. You are asked to burst all the balloons. If the you burst balloon i you will get nums[left] * nums[i] * nums[right] coins. Here left and right are adjacent indices of i. After the burst, the left and right then becomes adjacent.

Find the maximum coins you can collect by bursting the balloons wisely.

Note:

You may imagine nums[-1] = nums[n] = 1. They are not real therefore you can not burst them.
0 ≤ n ≤ 500, 0 ≤ nums[i] ≤ 100
Example:

Input: [3,1,5,8]
Output: 167 
Explanation: nums = [3,1,5,8] --> [3,5,8] -->   [3,8]   -->  [8]  --> []
             coins =  3*1*5      +  3*5*8    +  1*3*8      + 1*8*1   = 167

My code:

class Solution(object):
    def maxCoins(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: int
        """
        if len(nums)==0:
            return 0
        if len(nums)==1:
            return nums[0]
        num1=[1]+nums+[1]
        nums=num1
        m=len(nums)
        self.N=m
        self.record=[[-1]*m for i in range(m)]
        result=self.calcu_max(nums,0,len(nums)-1)
        #print(self.record)
        return result
    def calcu_max(self,nums,i,j):
        if i>=j:
            return 0
        
        if self.record[i][j]!=-1:
            return self.record[i][j]
        #for j in range(i,len(nums)):
        for k in range(i+1,j):
            self.record[i][j]=max(self.record[i][j],nums[i]*nums[j]*nums[k]+self.calcu_max(nums,i,k)+self.calcu_max(nums,k,j))
        if self.record[i][j]==-1:
            self.record[i][j]=0
        return self.record[i][j]
    def maxCoins1(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: int
        """
        n = len(nums)+2
        A = [1]+nums+[1]
        
        f = [[0]*(n) for _ in range(n)]
        
        for i in range(n,-1,-1):
            for j in range(i,n):
                for k in range(i+1,j):
                    f[i][j] = max(f[i][j], f[i][k] + f[k][j] + A[i]*A[k]*A[j])
        print(f)
        return f[0][n-1]
