+"""
+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 systems connected
+and it will automatically contact the police if two adjacent
+houses were broken into on the same night.
+
+Given an integer array nums representing the amount of money of each house, we have to
+return the maximum amount of money you can rob tonight without alerting the police.
