1402. Reducing Dishes

https://leetcode.com/problems/reducing-dishes

Description

A chef has collected data on the satisfaction level of his n dishes. Chef can cook any dish in 1 unit of time.

Like-time coefficient of a dish is defined as the time taken to cook that dish including previous dishes multiplied by its satisfaction level i.e. time[i] * satisfaction[i].

Return the maximum sum of like-time coefficient that the chef can obtain after dishes preparation.

Dishes can be prepared in any order and the chef can discard some dishes to get this maximum value.

Example 1:

**Input:** satisfaction = [-1,-8,0,5,-9]
**Output:** 14
**Explanation:** After Removing the second and last dish, the maximum total **like-time coefficient** will be equal to (-1*1 + 0*2 + 5*3 = 14).
Each dish is prepared in one unit of time.

Example 2:

**Input:** satisfaction = [4,3,2]
**Output:** 20
**Explanation:** Dishes can be prepared in any order, (2*1 + 3*2 + 4*3 = 20)

Example 3:

**Input:** satisfaction = [-1,-4,-5]
**Output:** 0
**Explanation:** People don't like the dishes. No dish is prepared.

Example 4:

**Input:** satisfaction = [-2,5,-1,0,3,-3]
**Output:** 35

Constraints:

  • n == satisfaction.length

  • 1 <= n <= 500

  • -1000 <= satisfaction[i] <= 1000
