Maximum sum of even indexed elements obtained by right shift on an even sized subarray

Given an array arr[], we need to find the maximum sum of the even indexed elements that can be obtained by performing right shift operation on any sub-array of even length by 1.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {5, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Output: 15
Explanation:
We can perform a right shift on index 2 to 5 then resulting array is:
arr[] = {5, 1, 6, 3, 4, 5}
Sum of elements at even indexes = 5 + 6 + 4 = 15

Input: arr[] = {7, 9, 1, 8, 3, 10, 4, 12}
Output: 39
Explanation:
We can perform a right shift on index 0 to 7 then resulting array is:
arr[] = {12, 7, 9, 1, 8, 3, 10, 4}
Sum of elements at even indexes = 12 + 9 + 8 + 10 = 39

Naive Approach: The naive approach is to right shift every possible subarray of even length by one and find the sum of elements at even index for all the array formed after every possible subarray shifts. The maximum sum in all the array is the required result.

Time Complexity: O(N²)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: To optimized the naive above approach we can observe that after performing the right shift on any even subarray by 1 the odd index value gets replaced by even index value and vice-versa. If we find the sum of element at even indexes(say sum) before shifting, then after shifting the sum gets changed by the sum of the consecutive difference between elements at even and odd index.
For Example:

arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}
Sum element at even index in the above array = 1 + 3 = 4
Right shift array by 1, we have
arr1[] = {4, 1, 2, 3}
Sum element at even index in the above array = 4 + 2 = 6
therefore the sum get differ by 2 in the above two array which is equals the sum of consecutive difference in arr[] as ( (2 – 1) + (4 – 3) = 2.

We will use the above concepts to solve this problem. Below are the steps:

Create two arrays(say arr1[] and arr2[]) such that arr1[] will store the consecutive difference of the element in the array arr[] as:
```
{(a[1] – a[0]), (a[3] – a[2]), . . ., (a[n]-a[n-1])}
```
And arr2[] will store the consecutive difference of the element in the array arr[] as:
```
{(a[1] – a[2]), (a[3] – a[4]), . . ., (a[n-1]-a[n])}
```
Then find the maximum subarray sum using Kadane’s Algorithm in the above two array formed.
Now the maximum sum is the sum of element at even indexes in the original array(arr[]) + maximum subarray sum of the two arrays arr1[] and arr2[].

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

        maxEndingHere += v[i];  
  
        // Update the maximum  
        maxSoFar = max(maxEndingHere,  
                    maxSoFar);  
  
        // Update maxEndingHere to 0 if it  
        // is less than 0  
        maxEndingHere  
            = max(maxEndingHere, 0);  
    }  
  
    // Return maximum sum

    }  
  
    // Create two vectors to store  
    // the consecutive differences  
    // of elements  
    vector<int> v1;  
    vector<int> v2;  
  
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i += 2) {  
  
        v1.push_back(arr[i]  
                    - arr[i - 1]);  
  
        if (i + 1 < n) {  
            v2.push_back(arr[i]  
                        - arr[i + 1]);  
        }  
    }  
  
    // Find the maximum sum subarray  
    int option1 = kadane(v1);  
    int option2 = kadane(v2);  
  
    // Add the maximum value  
    // to initial sum  
    int ans = sum + max(option1,  
                        option2);  
  
    // Return the answer  
    return ans;  
}
