Given an array of N integers. You are allowed to rearrange the element of the array. The task is to find the maximum value of Σarr[i]*i, where i = 0, 1, 2,…., n – 1.
Examples:
Input : N = 4, arr[] = { 3, 5, 6, 1 }
Output : 31
If we arrange arr[] as { 1, 3, 5, 6 }.
Sum of arr[i]*i is 1*0 + 3*1 + 5*2 + 6*3
= 31, which is maximum
Input : N = 2, arr[] = { 19, 20 }
Output : 20
A simple solution is to generate all permutations of given array. For every permutation, compute the value of Σarr[i]*i and finally return the maximum value.
An efficient solution is based on the fact that the largest value should be scaled maximum and smallest value should be scaled minimum. So we multiply minimum value of i with minimum value of arr[i]. So, sort the given array in increasing order and compute the sum of ari]*i, where i = 0 to n-1.
Below is the implementation of this approach:
C++
// CPP program to find the maximum value // of i*arr[i] #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int maxSum(int arr[], int n) { // Sort the array sort(arr, arr + n); // Finding the sum of arr[i]*i int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) sum += (arr[i]*i); return sum; } // Driven Program int main() { int arr[] = { 3, 5, 6, 1 }; int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]); cout << maxSum(arr, n) << endl; return 0; } |
Java
// Java program to find the // maximum value of i*arr[i] import java.util.*; class GFG { static int maxSum(int arr[], int n) { // Sort the array Arrays.sort(arr); // Finding the sum of arr[i]*i int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) sum += (arr[i] * i); return sum; } // Driven Program public static void main(String[] args) { int arr[] = { 3, 5, 6, 1 }; int n = arr.length; System.out.println(maxSum(arr, n)); } } // This code is contributed by Prerna Saini |
Python3
# Python program to find the # maximum value of i*arr[i] def maxSum(arr,n): # Sort the array arr.sort() # Finding the sum of # arr[i]*i sum = 0 for i in range(n): sum += arr[i] * i return sum # Driver Program arr = [3,5,6,1] n = len(arr) print(maxSum(arr,n)) # This code is contributed # by Shrikant13 |
C#
// C# program to find the // maximum value of i*arr[i] using System; class GFG { // Function to find the // maximum value of i*arr[i] static int maxSum(int[] arr, int n) { // Sort the array Array.Sort(arr); // Finding the sum of arr[i]*i int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) sum += (arr[i] * i); return sum; } // Driver code static public void Main() { int[] arr = {3, 5, 6, 1}; int n = arr.Length; Console.WriteLine(maxSum(arr, n)); } } // This code is contributed by Ajit. |
PHP
<?php // PHP program to find the // maximum value of i*arr[i] // function returns the // maximum value of i*arr[i] function maxSum($arr, $n) { // Sort the array sort($arr); // Finding the sum // of arr[i]*i $sum = 0; for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) $sum += ($arr[$i] * $i); return $sum; } // Driver Code $arr = array( 3, 5, 6, 1 ); $n = count($arr); echo maxSum($arr, $n); // This code is contributed by anuj_67. ?> |
Output:
31
