That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23.

Find the maximum total from top to bottom of the triangle below:

75
95 64
17 47 82
18 35 87 10
20 04 82 47 65
19 01 23 75 03 34
88 02 77 73 07 63 67
99 65 04 28 06 16 70 92
41 41 26 56 83 40 80 70 33
41 48 72 33 47 32 37 16 94 29
53 71 44 65 25 43 91 52 97 51 14
70 11 33 28 77 73 17 78 39 68 17 57
91 71 52 38 17 14 91 43 58 50 27 29 48
63 66 04 68 89 53 67 30 73 16 69 87 40 31
04 62 98 27 23 09 70 98 73 93 38 53 60 04 23

NOTE: As there are only 16384 routes, it is possible to solve this problem by trying every route. However, Problem 67, is the same challenge with a triangle containing one-hundred rows; it cannot be solved by brute force, and requires a clever method! ;o)

    最简单的方法就是穷举，从根节点出发，每个节点都有两个分叉，到达底部的路径有估计有2的指数级的数目（有会算的朋友请留言，我的组合数学都还给老师了），不过这道题显然是符合动态规划的特征，往下递增一层的某个节点的最佳结果f[i][j]肯定是上一层两个入口节点对应的最佳结果的最大值，也就是f[i-1][j]或者f[i-1][j+1]，递归的边界就是定点f[0][0]=75。因此我的解答如下，考虑了金字塔边界的情况，数据按照金字塔型存储在numbers.txt中，

1）概念：对于树中的每个节点n，其左子节点中保存的所有数值都小于n保存的数值，右子节点保存的数值都大于n保存的数值。

2）二叉查找树可以实现更为优越的查找性能，主要实现方式有数组和链表结构，相比较而言，链表实现更为容易，因为数组实现删除和添加功能需要移动数组元素（如填补删除空位等）

可以看到，C#的delegate机制非常有趣，如果在java中恐怕需要用inner class来实现了。

  heapEnqueue(el)
      将el放在堆尾
      while el不在根节点并且el>parent(el)
          交换el及其父节点
