Program to find maximum score from performing multiplication operations in Python
Suppose we have two arrays nums and multipliers of size n and m respectively (n >= m). The arrays are 1-indexed. Now our initial score is 0. We want to perform exactly m operations. On the ith operation (1-indexed), we will −
Select one value from x from either the start or the end of the nums.
Add multipliers[i] * x to the score.
Remove x from the array nums.
We have to find the maximum score after performing m operations.
So, if the input is like nums = [5,10,15], multipliers = [5,3,2], then the output will be 115 because we can take 15 then multiply it with 5 to get 5*15 = 75, then 10*3 = 30, so total is 75+30 = 105 and finally 5*2 = 10, so total 105+10 = 115.
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
n := size of nums, m := size multipliers
dp := One 2D array of size m x (m+1) and fill with 0
for i in reverse the list range 0 to m - 1, do
for j in range i to m - 1, do
k := i + m - j - 1
dp[i, j] = maximum of (nums[i] * multipliers[k] + dp[i+1, j]) and (nums[j-m+n] * multipliers[k] + dp[i, j-1])
return last element of dp[0]
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
def solve(nums, multipliers):
n, m = len(nums), len(multipliers)
dp = [[0]*m for _ in range(m+1)]
for i in reversed(range(m)):
for j in range(i, m):
k = i + m - j - 1
dp[i][j] = max(nums[i] * multipliers[k] + dp[i+1][j], nums[j-m+n] * multipliers[k] + dp[i][j-1])
return dp[0][-1]
nums = [5,10,15]
multipliers = [5,3,2]
print(solve(nums, multipliers))Input
[5,10,15], [5,3,2]
Output
115
