Harry made Felix Felicis(Liquid Luck Potion), and there is an integer value for each potion,
Harry recently came to know about a new spell by which he can multiply the Value of ith and (i+1)th potion by -1. where
. He can perform this spell any number of times. now he wants to maximize the total sum of all the potions. i.e find the maximum value of after performing this spell any number of times.
Example:
Input: n=5,arr[] = { 10, -4, -8, -11, 3 }
Output: 30
Approach
Java
public class HarryPotterAndSpells {public static void main(String[] args) {int n = 5;long sum = 0;long min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;int negCount = 0;int arr[] = { 10, -4, -8, -11, 3 };for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {long currentNum = arr[i];long currentNumAbs = Math.abs(currentNum);sum += currentNumAbs;min = Math.min(min, currentNumAbs);if (currentNum < 0) {negCount++;}}System.out.println(negCount % 2 == 0 ? sum : sum - 2 * min);}}
