The problem

A series of highways connect n cities numbered from 0 to n - 1. You are given a 2D integer array highways where highways[i] = [city1i, city2i, tolli] indicates that there is a highway that connects city1i and city2i, allowing a car to go from city1i to city2i and vice versa for a cost of tolli.

Example

Input
n = 5, highways = [[0,1,4],[2,1,3],[1,4,11],[3,2,3],[3,4,2]], k = 3
Output
17
Explanation
One possible trip is to go from 0 -> 1 -> 4 -> 3. The cost of this trip is 4 + 11 + 2 = 17.

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def maximumCost(self, n: int, highways: List[List[int]], k: int) -> int:
        if k >= n:
            return -1
        g = defaultdict(list)
        for a, b, cost in highways:
            g[a].append((b, cost))
            g[b].append((a, cost))
        f = [[-inf] * n for _ in range(1 << n)]
        for i in range(n):
            f[1 << i][i] = 0
        ans = -1
        for i in range(1 << n):
            for j in range(n):
                if i >> j & 1:
                    for h, cost in g[j]:
                        if i >> h & 1:
                            f[i][j] = max(f[i][j], f[i ^ (1 << j)][h] + cost)
                if i.bit_count() == k + 1:
                    ans = max(ans, f[i][j])
        return ans
