TRT - Treats for the Cows |
FJ has purchased N (1 <= N <= 2000) yummy treats for the cows who get money for giving vast amounts of milk. FJ sells one treat per day and wants to maximize the money he receives over a given period time. The treats are interesting for many reasons:
- The treats are numbered 1..N and stored sequentially in single file in a long box that is open at both ends. On any day, FJ can retrieve one treat from either end of his stash of treats.
- Like fine wines and delicious cheeses, the treats improve with age and command greater prices.
- The treats are not uniform: some are better and have higher intrinsic value. Treat i has value v(i) (1 <= v(i) <= 1000).
- Cows pay more for treats that have aged longer: a cow will pay v(i)*a for a treat of age a.
Given the values v(i) of each of the treats lined up in order of the index i in their box, what is the greatest value FJ can receive for them if he orders their sale optimally?
The first treat is sold on day 1 and has age a=1. Each subsequent day increases the age by 1.
Input
Line 1: A single integer, N
Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains the value of treat v(i)
Output
The maximum revenue FJ can achieve by selling the treats
Example
Input: 5 1 3 1 5 2 Output: 43

Just declare both dp and input array globally otherwise it will give you a TLE |

Don't use a map gives TLE. |

This was discussed in Errichto dp video 3. He called it line of wines. //leaving this comment for those who came from the video |

AC in one go!! Use memoization technique DP |

why greedy approach is not working ? |

Go for recursion, try storing optimal action for each case, along with the max function |

First of all, if u think that dp has no application here and your greedy algorithm will work, just go through this link, for getting an example in which the greedy approach fails. https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-good-resources-or-tutorials-for-dynamic-programming-DP-besides-the-TopCoder-tutorial/answer/Michal-Danil%C3%A1k Some other tips : 1. Declare the array and the DP matrix globally, to avoid runtime error. 2. Avoid memset function. 3. Memoization technique will work fine. |

Test Case : 2 3 5 1 4 Greedy - 49 ans - 50 (2,4,1,3,5) If u get any runtime error in test case 9||10 increase dp table and array size 2009 Last edit: 2020-06-02 15:01:53 |

ac in third attempt because forget to memeize thr dp array dont forget tp memoize it ....nice problem |
