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.

10    int total = 0, sum = 0;
11    for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
12        sum += satisfaction[i];
13        if (sum > 0) {
14            total += sum;
15        } else {
16            break;

25    printf("%d", maxSatisfaction(satisfaction, size));
26    return 0;
27}This C program sorts the satisfaction array in decreasing order and iteratively calculates the like-time coefficient. If adding the current satisfaction level to the sum results in a non-positive value, the computation stops as it indicates that further additions would only decrease the total result.
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.

Space Complexity: O(n)

}This C++ version applies dynamic programming to update the DP array by comparing the inclusion and exclusion of each dish, computing the optimal like-time coefficient.
