{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "3391", "questionFrontendId": "3148", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Maximum Difference Score in a Grid", "titleSlug": "maximum-difference-score-in-a-grid", "content": "

You are given an m x n matrix grid consisting of positive integers. You can move from a cell in the matrix to any other cell that is either to the bottom or to the right (not necessarily adjacent). The score of a move from a cell with the value c1 to a cell with the value c2 is c2 - c1.

\n\n

You can start at any cell, and you have to make at least one move.

\n\n

Return the maximum total score you can achieve.

\n\n

Example 1:

\n\"\"\n
\n

Input: grid = [[9,5,7,3],[8,9,6,1],[6,7,14,3],[2,5,3,1]]

\n\n

Output: 9

\n\n

Explanation: We start at the cell (0, 1), and we perform the following moves:
\n- Move from the cell (0, 1) to (2, 1) with a score of 7 - 5 = 2.
\n- Move from the cell (2, 1) to (2, 2) with a score of 14 - 7 = 7.
\nThe total score is 2 + 7 = 9.

\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n

\"\"

\n\n
\n

Input: grid = [[4,3,2],[3,2,1]]

\n\n

Output: -1

\n\n

Explanation: We start at the cell (0, 0), and we perform one move: (0, 0) to (0, 1). The score is 3 - 4 = -1.
