# The demons had captured the princess (P) and imprisoned her
# in the bottom-right corner of a dungeon. T
# he dungeon consists of M x N rooms laid out in a 2D grid.
# Our valiant knight (K) was initially positioned in the top-left room
# and must fight his way through the dungeon to rescue the princess.
#
# The knight has an initial health point represented by a positive integer.
# If at any point his health point drops to 0 or below, he dies immediately.
#
# Some of the rooms are guarded by demons,
# so the knight loses health (negative integers) upon entering these rooms;
# other rooms are either empty (0's) or contain magic orbs that increase the knight's health (positive integers).
#
# In order to reach the princess as quickly as possible,
# the knight decides to move only rightward or downward in each step.
#
#
# Write a function to determine the knight's minimum initial health
# so that he is able to rescue the princess.
#
# For example, given the dungeon below, the initial health of
# the knight must be at least 7 if he follows the optimal path RIGHT-> RIGHT -> DOWN -> DOWN.
#
# Notes:
#
# The knight's health has no upper bound.
# Any room can contain threats or power-ups, even the first room the knight enters
# and the bottom-right room where the princess is imprisoned.
