Maximum possible array sum after performing the given operation

Last Updated : 05 May, 2021

Given an array arr[] of size N, the task is to find the maximum sum of the elements of the array after applying the given operation any number of times. In a single operation, choose an index 1 ≤ i < N and multiply both arr[i] and arr[i – 1] by -1.
Examples:

Input: arr[] = {-10, 5, -4}
Output: 19
Perform the operation for i = 1 and
the array becomes {10, -5, -4}
Perform the operation for i = 2 and
the array becomes {10, 5, 4}
10 + 5 + 4 = 19
Input: arr[] = {10, -4, -8, -11, 3}
Output: 30

Approach: This problem can be solved using dynamic programming. Since it is useless to choose and flip the same arr[i], we will consider flipping at most once for each element of the array in order from the left. Let dp[i][0] represents the maximum possible sum up to the i^th index without flipping the i^th index. dp[i][1] represents the maximum possible sum up to the i^th index with flipping the i^th index. So, dp(n, 0) is our required answer.
Base conditions:

dp[0][0] = 0
dp[0][1] = INT_MIN

Recurrence relation:

dp[i + 1][0] = max(dp[i][0] + arr[i], dp[i][1] – arr[i])
dp[i + 1][1] = max(dp[i][0] – arr[i], dp[i][1] + arr[i])

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the maximum possible
// sum after performing the given operation
int max_sum(int a[], int n)
{
    // Dp vector to store the answer
    vector<vector<int> > dp(n + 1,
                            vector<int>(2, 0));
 
    // Base value
    dp[0][0] = 0, dp[0][1] = -999999;
 
    for (int i = 0; i <= n - 1; i++) {
        dp[i + 1][0] = max(dp[i][0] + a[i],
                           dp[i][1] - a[i]);
        dp[i + 1][1] = max(dp[i][0] - a[i],
                           dp[i][1] + a[i]);
    }
 
    // Return the maximum sum
    return dp[n][0];
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a[] = { -10, 5, -4 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
 
    cout << max_sum(a, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
 
// Function to return the maximum possible
// sum after performing the given operation
static int max_sum(int a[], int n)
{
    // Dp vector to store the answer
    int [][]dp = new int[n + 1][2];
                         
    // Base value
    dp[0][0] = 0; dp[0][1] = -999999;
 
    for (int i = 0; i <= n - 1; i++)
    {
        dp[i + 1][0] = Math.max(dp[i][0] + a[i],
                                dp[i][1] - a[i]);
        dp[i + 1][1] = Math.max(dp[i][0] - a[i],
                                dp[i][1] + a[i]);
    }
 
    // Return the maximum sum
    return dp[n][0];
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int a[] = { -10, 5, -4 };
    int n = a.length;
 
    System.out.println(max_sum(a, n));
}
}
