1402. Reducing Dishes (Hard)

A chef has collected data on the satisfaction level of his n dishes. Chef can cook any dish in 1 unit of time.

Like-time coefficient of a dish is defined as the time taken to cook that dish including previous dishes multiplied by its satisfaction level  i.e.  time[i]*satisfaction[i]

Return the maximum sum of Like-time coefficient that the chef can obtain after dishes preparation.

Dishes can be prepared in any order and the chef can discard some dishes to get this maximum value.

 

Example 1:

Input: satisfaction = [-1,-8,0,5,-9]
Output: 14
Explanation: After Removing the second and last dish, the maximum total Like-time coefficient will be equal to (-1*1 + 0*2 + 5*3 = 14). Each dish is prepared in one unit of time.

Example 2:

Input: satisfaction = [4,3,2]
Output: 20
Explanation: Dishes can be prepared in any order, (2*1 + 3*2 + 4*3 = 20)

Example 3:

Input: satisfaction = [-1,-4,-5]
Output: 0
Explanation: People don't like the dishes. No dish is prepared.

Example 4:

Input: satisfaction = [-2,5,-1,0,3,-3]
Output: 35

 

Constraints:

  • n == satisfaction.length
  • 1 <= n <= 500
  • -10^3 <= satisfaction[i] <= 10^3

Solution 1. Brute Force

// OJ: https://leetcode.com/problems/reducing-dishes/
// Time: O(N^2)
// Space: O(1)
class Solution {
    typedef long long LL;
public:
    int maxSatisfaction(vector<int>& A) {
        int N = A.size();
        sort(A.begin(), A.end());
        LL ans = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
            LL sum = 0;
            for (int j = i; j < N; ++j) sum += A[j] * (j - i + 1);
            ans = max(ans, sum);
        }
        return ans;
    }
};

Solution 2. Prefix Sum

If array is sorted in descending order. The answer is one of the following:

  • B[0] = A[0] * 1
  • B[1] = A[0] * 2 + A[1] * 1
  • B[2] = A[0] * 3 + A[1] * 2 + A[2] * 1
  • …

And we have

  • B[0] = Sum(0)
  • B[1] = B[0] + Sum(1)
  • B[2] = B[1] + Sum(2)
  • …

Where Sum(i) = A[0] + ... + A[i], i.e. prefix sum of A.

  • B[0] = Sum(0)
  • B[1] = Sum(0) + Sum(1)
  • B[2] = Sum(0) + Sum(1) + Sum(2)
  • …

And thus B is the prefix sum of prefix sum of A.
