Given two arrays of positive and distinct integers. The task is to find a pair from the two arrays with maximum sum.

Note: The pair should contain one element from both the arrays.

Examples

Input : arr1[] = {1, 2, 3},  arr2[] = {4, 5, 6}
Output : Max Sum = 9
Pair (3, 6) has the maximum sum.

Input : arr1[] = {10, 2, 3},  arr2[] = {3, 4, 7}
Output : Max Sum = 17

Naive Approach: A simple approach is two-run two nested loops to generate all possible pairs and find the pair with maximum sum.
Time Complexity: O(N*M), where N is the length of first array and M is the length of second array.

Efficient Approach: An efficient approach is to observe that the elements which are maximum in the respective arrays will contribute to the maximum sum pair. So, the task reduces to find maximum elements from both the arrays and print their sum.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ program to find maximum sum
// pair from two arrays
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find maximum sum
// pair from two arrays
int maxSumPair(int arr1[], int n1, int arr2[], int n2)
{
    int max1 = INT_MIN; // max from 1st array
    int max2 = INT_MIN; // max from 2nd array
 
    // Find max from 1st array
    for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++) {
        if (arr1[i] > max1)
            max1 = arr1[i];
    }
 
    // Find max from 2nd array
    for (int i = 0; i < n2; i++) {
        if (arr2[i] > max2)
            max2 = arr2[i];
    }
 
    // Return sum of max from both arrays
    return max1 + max2;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    int arr1[] = { 10, 2, 3 };
 
    int arr2[] = { 3, 4, 7 };
 
    int n1 = sizeof(arr1) / sizeof(arr1[0]);
 
    int n2 = sizeof(arr2) / sizeof(arr2[0]);
 
    cout << maxSumPair(arr1, n1, arr2, n2);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




//Java program to find maximum sum
//pair from two arrays
public class AAB {
 
    //Function to find maximum sum
    //pair from two arrays
    static int maxSumPair(int arr1[], int n1, int arr2[], int n2)
    {
     int max1 = Integer.MIN_VALUE; // max from 1st array
     int max2 = Integer.MIN_VALUE; // max from 2nd array
 
     // Find max from 1st array
     for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++) {
         if (arr1[i] > max1)
             max1 = arr1[i];
     }
 
     // Find max from 2nd array
     for (int i = 0; i < n2; i++) {
         if (arr2[i] > max2)
             max2 = arr2[i];
     }
 
     // Return sum of max from both arrays
     return max1 + max2;
    }
 
    //Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         
        int arr1[] = { 10, 2, 3 };
 
         int arr2[] = { 3, 4, 7 };
 
         int n1 = arr1.length;
 
         int n2 = arr2.length;
 
         System.out.println(maxSumPair(arr1, n1, arr2, n2));
 
    }
 
}
