In the given test case,
4
1 2 3 4
Piyush will first pick 4, then the remaining is 1 2 3
now if nimit will pick 1 then remaining is 2 3.
So now piyush can pick 3 and the total would be 7(4+3).
But in test case he is choosing 2 and hence the total is 6 which is smaller than 7!
Hello @rohitmathur.mathur.6 it is written in the question that both the players will play optimally so then nimit will also choose the maximum number which can make him win.
So he will choose 3 then. Then piyush will choose 2 so in this the result of piyush is 6.
Yeah i figured that out, but in the explanation it was written that nimit will either choose 1 or 3.
That’s why i got confused!
@rohitmathur.mathur.6 is this clear now? or do you want me to discuss with any other example as well?
No it is clear now.
Thank you!
