QTGIFT1 - New year love story |
English | Vietnamese |
With brother’s help, DB has successed in flirt with TN. (see QTNOEL). But now he has another problem :
In Vietnamese Tet holidays (Vietnam’s Lunar New Year), there is a custom called ‘Li xi’ that adult give children money in red packs, to wish them strong and happy. DB’s family has a very special method to give children Li xi :
There are n Li xi packs, every pack has a[i] VND – Vietnamese unit of money, and a random positive integer k (1 ≤ k ≤ n). DB can take any pack, but mustn’t take k packs in a row.
Let’s help him to find the way to take the maximum of money.
Input :
- First line : two integer n and k
- Second line : n integer, the i-th number is a[i]
Output :
A single number s – the maximum money DB can take.
Example:
Input:
5 3
6 19 8 7 13
Output:
45
Limit :
- 0 ≤ a[i] ≤ 2000
- n ≤ 106

Test cases are extremely weak, my worst case O(n^3) solution gave AC |

This problem is required to be solved with algorithm costing O(N) time complexity. My first O(N log2(N)) solution got TLE. |

O(n log N) gets TLE, but with fast I/O it gets AC! |

Please explain question correctly. If he can't take 3 packs in a row, in the given testcase then maximum sum is 53 corresponding to all i.e. He may have taken all 5 packs in a row. Isn't it. |

Vietnamese's story is far different from English's =)) |

O(n log n) gets TLE... Is there anything faster, or just constant optimisation is required? EDIT: Never mind, I got AC with a O(n) algo.. Really nice problem! Last edit: 2014-04-22 16:31:59 |
