 * Created by pradhang on 4/3/2017. You are a professional robber planning to rob houses along a
 * street. Each house has a certain amount of money stashed, the only constraint stopping you from
 * robbing each of them is that adjacent houses have security system connected and it will
 * automatically contact the police if two adjacent houses were broken into on the same night.
 *
 * <p>Given a list of non-negative integers representing the amount of money of each house,
 * determine the maximum amount of money you can rob tonight without alerting the police.
