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.
1def max_satisfaction(satisfaction):
2 satisfaction.sort()
3 total = 0
4 prefix_sum = 0
5 for s in reversed(satisfaction):
6 prefix_sum += s
7 if prefix_sum > 0:
8 total += prefix_sum
9 else:
10 break
11 return total

13satisfaction = [-1, -8, 0, 5, -9]
14print(max_satisfaction(satisfaction))In Python, the satisfaction list is sorted, and the like-time coefficient is computed with a running prefix sum, which lets us selectively include positive contributions.
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)

This C solution employs dynamic programming by initializing a DP array with zero and iteratively updating it by considering the choice of including a dish or not, thereby maximizing the like-time coefficient.
