Maximum sum alternating subsequence in C++

In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to find maximum sum alternating subsequence.

For this we will be provided with an array of integers. Our task is to find the maximum sum of an alternating subsequence i.e sequence which is first decreasing, then increasing, then decreasing and so on.

Example

 Live Demo

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
//returning maximum sum alternating series
int maxAlternateSum(int arr[], int n) {
   if (n == 1) return arr[0];
   int dec[n];
   memset(dec, 0, sizeof(dec));
   int inc[n];
   memset(inc, 0, sizeof(inc));
   dec[0] = inc[0] = arr[0];
   int flag = 0 ;
   for (int i=1; i<n; i++) {
      for (int j=0; j<i; j++) {
         if (arr[j] > arr[i]) { dec[i] = max(dec[i], inc[j]+arr[i]); flag = 1; }
         else if (arr[j] < arr[i] && flag == 1) inc[i] = max(inc[i], dec[j]+arr[i]);
      }
   }
   int result = INT_MIN;
   for (int i = 0 ; i < n; i++) {
      if (result < inc[i])
      result = inc[i];
      if (result < dec[i]) result = dec[i];
   }
   return result;
}
int main() {
   int arr[]= {8, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10};
   int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
   cout << "Maximum sum = " << maxAlternateSum(arr , n ) << endl;
   return 0;
}

Output

Maximum sum = 25
