Optimal Game Strategy Concept Doubt

#1

So in this DP problem, what is mean by f(i,j)?

#2

hello @Kinjal
f(i,j) gives answer when [i…j] problem is considered

#3

What I was asking that what is f(i,j) mean in this recurrence relation according to this problem where,
f(i,j)=max( a[i]+min(f(i+2,j),f(i+1,j-1)) , a[j]+min(f(i,j-2),f(i+1,j-1)) )

Like what is f(1,2)?
Is it mean that player 1 will take first coin and player 2 will take second coin?
