Cannot think how to approach

#1

Cannot think how to approach and switch between arrays to get the max sum.

#2

I watched some youtube videos and solved the question… understood how we need to solve the question… but I don’t understand why are we adding the smaller element to the sum and not the bigger element as at last we need the bigger sum right?

hi @Riya-Verma-1207263756078812, it not about adding small elements and big elements as every time at common points u r adding the max in your answer

#4

but I want to know the logic behind the same, like if (arr[i] < brr[j]) { sum_of_arr += arr[i++]; } but if the value of brr[j] is greater we should’ve added that into the result na!

#5

@Riya-Verma-1207263756078812, initially we are storing temporarily and at common points only we are adding to our ans … Just do a dry run once you’ll realise this

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

@Riya-Verma-1207263756078812, consider the case where there are more smaller elements which will add more to the sum till the common point
