Maximize array sum after K negations

Given an array of size n and a number k. We must modify array K number of times. Here modify array means in each operation we can replace any array element arr[i] by -arr[i]. We need to perform this operation in such a way that after K operations, sum of array must be maximum?

Examples :

Input : arr[] = {-2, 0, 5, -1, 2} 
        K = 4
Output: 10
// Replace (-2) by -(-2), array becomes {2, 0, 5, -1, 2}
// Replace (-1) by -(-1), array becomes {2, 0, 5, 1, 2}
// Replace (0) by -(0), array becomes {2, 0, 5, 1, 2}
// Replace (0) by -(0), array becomes {2, 0, 5, 1, 2}

Input : arr[] = {9, 8, 8, 5} 
        K = 3
Output: 20

Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE” first, before moving on to the solution.

This problem has very simple solution, we just have to replace the minimum element arr[i] in array by -arr[i] for current operation. In this way we can make sum of array maximum after K operations. Once interesting case is, once minimum element becomes 0, we don’t need to make any more changes.

C++

// C++ program to to maximize array sum after 
// k operations. 
#include<bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// This function does k operations on array 
// in a way that maximize the array sum. 
// index --> stores the index of current minimum 
//           element for j'th operation 
int maximumSum(int arr[], int n, int k) 
{ 
    // Modify array K number of times 
    for (int i=1; i<=k; i++) 
    { 
        int min = INT_MAX; 
        int index = -1; 
  
        // Find minimum element in array for 
        // current operation and modify it 
        // i.e; arr[j] --> -arr[j] 
        for (int j=0; j<n; j++) 
        { 
            if (arr[j] < min) 
            { 
                min = arr[j]; 
                index = j; 
            } 
        } 
  
        // this the condition if we find 0 as 
        // minimum element, so it will useless to 
        // replace 0 by -(0) for remaining operations 
        if (min == 0) 
            break; 
  
        // Modify element of array 
        arr[index] = -arr[index]; 
    } 
  
    // Calculate sum of array 
    int sum = 0; 
    for (int i=0; i<n; i++) 
        sum += arr[i]; 
    return sum; 
} 
  
// Driver program to test the case 
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = {-2, 0, 5, -1, 2}; 
    int k = 4; 
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]); 
    cout << maximumSum(arr, n, k); 
    return 0; 
}
