This module provides two implementations for the rod-cutting problem:
1. A naive recursive implementation which has an exponential runtime
2. Two dynamic programming implementations which have quadratic runtime
The rod-cutting problem is the problem of finding the maximum possible revenue
obtainable from a rod of length ``n`` given a list of prices for each integral piece
of the rod. The maximum revenue can thus be obtained by cutting the rod and selling the
pieces separately or not cutting it at all if the price of it is the maximum obtainable.
def naive_cut_rod_recursive(n: int, prices: list):
    Solves the rod-cutting problem via naively without using the benefit of dynamic
    programming. The results is the same sub-problems are solved several times
    leading to an exponential runtime
    Runtime: O(2^n)
    Arguments
    -------
    n: int, the length of the rod
    prices: list, the prices for each piece of rod. ``p[i-i]`` is the
    price for a rod of length ``i``
    Returns
    -------
    The maximum revenue obtainable for a rod of length n given the list of prices
    for each piece.
    Examples
    --------
    >>> naive_cut_rod_recursive(4, [1, 5, 8, 9])
    >>> naive_cut_rod_recursive(10, [1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 17, 17, 20, 24, 30])
    _enforce_args(n, prices)
    if n == 0:
        return 0
    max_revue = float("-inf")
    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        max_revue = max(
            max_revue, prices[i - 1] + naive_cut_rod_recursive(n - i, prices)
    return max_revue
def top_down_cut_rod(n: int, prices: list):
    Constructs a top-down dynamic programming solution for the rod-cutting
    problem via memoization. This function serves as a wrapper for
    _top_down_cut_rod_recursive
    Runtime: O(n^2)
    Arguments
    --------
    n: int, the length of the rod
    prices: list, the prices for each piece of rod. ``p[i-i]`` is the
    price for a rod of length ``i``
    For convenience and because Python's lists using 0-indexing, length(max_rev) =
    n + 1, to accommodate for the revenue obtainable from a rod of length 0.
    Returns
    -------
    The maximum revenue obtainable for a rod of length n given the list of prices
    for each piece.
    Examples
    -------
    >>> top_down_cut_rod(4, [1, 5, 8, 9])
    >>> top_down_cut_rod(10, [1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 17, 17, 20, 24, 30])

    return _top_down_cut_rod_recursive(n, prices, max_rev)
def _top_down_cut_rod_recursive(n: int, prices: list, max_rev: list):
    Constructs a top-down dynamic programming solution for the rod-cutting problem
    via memoization.
    Runtime: O(n^2)
    Arguments
    --------
    n: int, the length of the rod
    prices: list, the prices for each piece of rod. ``p[i-i]`` is the
    price for a rod of length ``i``
    max_rev: list, the computed maximum revenue for a piece of rod.
    ``max_rev[i]`` is the maximum revenue obtainable for a rod of length ``i``
    Returns
    -------
    The maximum revenue obtainable for a rod of length n given the list of prices
    for each piece.

        max_rev[n] = max_revenue
    return max_rev[n]
def bottom_up_cut_rod(n: int, prices: list):
    Constructs a bottom-up dynamic programming solution for the rod-cutting problem
    Runtime: O(n^2)
    Arguments
    ----------
    n: int, the maximum length of the rod.
    prices: list, the prices for each piece of rod. ``p[i-i]`` is the
    price for a rod of length ``i``
    Returns
