To maximize the like-time coefficient, we can sort the satisfaction levels in non-descending order and calculate the possible like-time coefficients by considering prefixes from the end of the sorted array. This allows us to selectively choose higher satisfaction dishes to maximize the total like-time coefficient.
Time Complexity: O(n log n) due to sorting.
Space Complexity: O(1) for using a constant amount of extra space.

8            sum += satisfaction[i];

10                total += sum;

An alternative approach involves using dynamic programming to maximize the like-time coefficient. We maintain a DP table where `dp[i]` represents the maximum like-time coefficient attainable using the first `i` dishes. This approach computes overlap coefficients dynamically using state transitions calculated for each dish considered.

This JavaScript approach uses dynamic programming. An array tracks maximum scores achievable and updates state based on including or excluding dishes from past planned courses.
