I first found this problem when looking at a Yodle engineering challenge question. Basically you this takes a file with lines of numbers and finds the largest sum by totaling the largest adjacent numbers for each new line. ``` triangle_array = [] f = File.open("triangle.txt", "r") f.each_line do |line| triangle_array << line.split.map(&:to_i) end f.close lines = triangle_array.length for i in (lines-2).downto(0).to_a do for j in (i).downto(0).to_a do triangle_array[i][j] += [triangle_array[i+1][j].to_i,triangle_array[i+1][j+1].to_i].max end end p triangle_array[0][0] ```
