1014. Best Sightseeing Pair
Medium
You are given an integer array values where values[i] represents the value of the ith sightseeing spot. Two sightseeing spots i and j have a distance j - i between them.
The score of a pair (i < j) of sightseeing spots is values[i] + values[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: values = [8,1,5,2,6]
Output: 11
Explanation: i = 0, j = 2, values[i] + values[j] + i - j = 8 + 5 + 0 - 2 = 11
Example 2:
Input: values = [1,2]
Output: 2
Constraints:
2 <= values.length <= 5 * 1041 <= values[i] <= 1000
Solution
public class Solution {
public int maxScoreSightseeingPair(int[] values) {
int bestPrevious = values[0];
int maxSum = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < values.length; ++i) {
maxSum = Math.max(maxSum, bestPrevious + values[i] - i);
bestPrevious = Math.max(bestPrevious, values[i] + i);
}
return maxSum;
}
}
