Leetcode - Best Sightseeing Pair
https://leetcode.com/problems/best-sightseeing-pair/
Given an array A
of positive integers, A[i]
represents the value of the i
-th sightseeing spot, and two sightseeing spots i
and j
have distance j - i
between them.
The score of a pair (i < j
) of sightseeing spots is (A[i] + A[j] + i - j)
: the sum of the values of the sightseeing spots, minus the distance between them.
Return the maximum score of a pair of sightseeing spots.
Example 1:
Input: [8,1,5,2,6]
Output: 11
Explanation: i = 0, j = 2, A[i] + A[j] + i - j = 8 + 5 + 0 - 2 = 11
A[i] + A[j] + i - j can be treated as A[i] + i and A[j] - j. So tracking the max sum of A[i] + A[j] + i - j and updating i by compare A[i] + i with A[j] + j.
func maxScoreSightseeingPair(A []int) int { i := 0 max := A[i] + i for j := 1; j < len(A); j++ { tmp := A[i] + i + A[j] - j if tmp > max { max = tmp } if A[i] + i < A[j] + j { i = j } } return max }
