Optimal Game Strategy--I

One Test Case Failed and Please illustrate what is the meaning of "Both Players play optimally "
My Solution-https://ide.codingblocks.com/s/65219

Wrong Test Case:
4
1 1 9 4
Your output
5
Correct Output
10 (By first Picking 1 and then 9 in second turn).

Basically your code is completely wrong , you are using greedy algorithm here and this is a DP Problem.
You can search this problem by Name “Optimal Strategy for a Game DP”
Hit like if u get it :slight_smile:
