Its an assignment task,I have spend 2 days to come up with a solution but still having lots of confusion,however here I need to make few points clear. Following is the problem:
Yuckdonald’s is considering opening a series of restaurant along QVH. n possible locations are along a straight line and the distances of these locations from the start of QVH are in miles and in increasing order m1, m2, ...., mn. The constraints are as follows:
1. At each location, Yuckdonald may open one restaurant and expected profit from opening a restaurant at location i is given as pi
2. Any two restaurants should be at least k miles apart, where k is a positive integer
My solution:
public class RestaurantProblem {
int[] Profit;
int[] P;
int[] L;
int k;
public RestaurantProblem(int[] L , int[] P, int k) {
this.L = L;
this.P = P;
this.k = k;
Profit = new int[L.length];
}
public int compute(int i){
if(i==0)
return 0;
Profit[i]= P[i]+(L[i]-L[i-1]< k ? 0:compute(i-1));//if condition satisfies then adding previous otherwise zero
if (Profit[i]<compute(i-1)){
Profit[i] = compute(i-1);
}
return Profit[i];
}
public static void main(String args[]){
int[] m = {0,5,10,15,19,25,28,29};
int[] p = {0,10,4,61,21,13,19,15};
int k = 5;
RestaurantProblem rp = new RestaurantProblem(m, p ,k);
rp.compute(m.length-1);
for(int n : rp.Profit)
System.out.println(n);
}
}
This solution giving me 88 however if I exclude (Restaurant at 25 with Profit 13) and include (Restaurant 28 with profit 19) I can have 94 max...
point me if I am wrong or how can I achieve this if its true.
