Given an array arr[] of size n having both positive and negative integer excluding zero. The task is to find the subsequence with an alternating sign having maximum size and maximum sum that is, in a subsequence sign of each adjacent element is opposite for example if the first one is positive then the second one has to be negative followed by another positive integer and so on.
Examples:
 

Input: arr[] = {2, 3, 7, -6, -4}
Output: 7 -4
Explanation:
Possible subsequences are [2, -6] [2, -4] [3, -6] [3, -4] [7, -6] [7, -4].
Out of these [7, -4] has the maximum sum. 

Input: arr[] = {-4, 9, 4, 11, -5, -17, 9, -3, -5, 2}
Output: -4 11 -5 9 -3 2  

 

Approach: 
The main idea to solve the above problem is to find the maximum element from the segments of the array which consists of the same sign which means we have to pick the maximum element among continuous positive and continuous negative elements. As we want maximum size we will only take one element from each segment and also to maximize the sum, we need to take the maximum element of each segment. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

CPP




// C++ implementation to find the
// subsequence with alternating sign
// having maximum size and maximum sum.
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the subsequence
// with alternating sign having
// maximum size and maximum sum.
void findSubsequence(int arr[], int n)
{
    int sign[n] = { 0 };
 
    // Find whether each element
    // is positive or negative
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (arr[i] > 0)
            sign[i] = 1;
        else
            sign[i] = -1;
    }
 
    int k = 0;
    int result[n] = { 0 };
 
    // Find the required subsequence
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        int cur = arr[i];
        int j = i;
 
        while (j < n && sign[i] == sign[j]) {
 
            // Find the maximum element
            // in the specified range
            cur = max(cur, arr[j]);
            ++j;
        }
 
        result[k++] = cur;
 
        i = j - 1;
    }
 
    // print the result
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
        cout << result[i] << " ";
    cout << "\n";
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // array declaration
    int arr[] = { -4, 9, 4, 11, -5, -17, 9, -3, -5, 2 };
 
    // size of array
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    findSubsequence(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}

    // Find whether each element
    // is positive or negative
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (arr[i] > 0)
            sign[i] = 1;
        else
            sign[i] = -1;

        i = j - 1;
    }
  
    // print the result
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
        System.out.print(result[i]+ " ");
    System.out.print("\n");
