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.
1function maxSatisfaction(satisfaction) {
2    satisfaction.sort((a, b) => a - b);
3    let total = 0, prefixSum = 0;
4    for (let i = satisfaction.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
5        prefixSum += satisfaction[i];
6        if (prefixSum > 0) {
7            total += prefixSum;
8        } else {
9            break;
10        }
11    }
12    return total;

15const satisfaction = [-1, -8, 0, 5, -9];
16console.log(maxSatisfaction(satisfaction));This JavaScript function sorts the array and calculates the total like-time coefficient from the back, selecting positive prefix sums only.
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.
Time Complexity: O(n^2)
Space Complexity: O(n)

class Program {
    static int MaxSatisfaction(int[] satisfaction) {
        Array.Sort(satisfaction);
        int n = satisfaction.Length;
        int[] dp = new int[n + 1];
        for (int i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            for (int t = 0; t <= i; t++) {
                dp[t] = Math.Max(dp[t], dp[t + 1] + satisfaction[i] * (t + 1));
            }
        }
        return dp[0];
    }
    static void Main() {
        int[] satisfaction = {4, 3, 2};
        Console.WriteLine(MaxSatisfaction(satisfaction));
    }
}The C# program adopts dynamic programming to make state transitions represent time indices for prepared dishes, updating choices dynamically to achieve the maximum like-time coefficient.
