Updated to have a second method to use a recursive functions. This method is not as good as the first method and takes too long to complete.
Updated due to the refactor and also just reads the whole file into memory instead of many small reads.
By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent numbers on the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23.
3 7 4 2 4 6 8 5 9 3
That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23.
Find the maximum total from top to bottom in triangle.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 15K text file containing a triangle with one-hundred rows.
NOTE: This is a much more difficult version of Problem 18.
