I have been trying this problem for a while . I have figured out the state to be dp[taken][remaining] where taken tells me the number of blocks i have used till now , and remaining tells me the number of blocks that are left with me . Now base case is trivial , but I am not able to get the transition . Can someone please help me with this . Any help is appreciated :)

I have done some very basic questions of DFS , but I always feel confused and not so sure about , how to systematically formulate my solution in the dfs code . I feel confused , wheather to place certain statements before or after the recurssive call. A similar situation happens for this problem too . I came up with the idea , but feel lost when I have to code it in the dfs solution. I would request this community , to please share your approaches towards handling such DFS codes . Thanks :)
