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

my 50th cakewalk :P

50th :)...Btw any clues on how can this be done iteratively?

Arun Karthikeyan: 2014-09-13 19:54:33

Java Recursion TLE, same soln AC in C++
Java Iteration DP AC.

AC in go! cakewalk dp! :) :D ..

:S :D first attempt

got it in 1st attempt :)

Instead of thinking it in terms of pure DP its better to approach the problem with recursion(TOPDOWN) with memoization...... AC

6 | 6 1 1 1 5 5 . Ans = 70 <- Greedy approach fails
5 | 1 3 1 5 2 . Ans = 43 <- Greedy approach works

My sol first got sigsegv but wen i submitted by declaring the array globally it got acc can anyone explain this

Good problem. I solved it with O(n^2) time and O(n) space. Is it optimal in terms of time and space complexity?
