Implementation

S_5_Bowling_for_Numbers.cpp

C++

    #include <bits/stdc++.h>
    using namespace std;
    using ll = long long;
    const int inf = 1e9;
    const long long INF = 1e17; //❄️
    void solve() {
        int n, k, w; cin >> n >> k >> w;
        vector<int> psa(n + 1);
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            int x; cin >> x;
            psa[i] = psa[i - 1] + x;
        }
        vector<vector<int>> dp(k + 1, vector<int>(n + 1));
        for (int i = 0; i <= k; i++) dp[i][0] = 0;
        for (int i = 1; i <= k; i++) {
            for (int j = 1; j <= n; j++) {
                dp[i][j] = max(dp[i][j - 1], dp[i - 1][max(0, j - w)] + psa[j] - psa[j - w >= 0 ? j - w : j]);
            }
        }
        cout << dp[k][n] << '\n';
    }
    int main() {
        ios::sync_with_stdio(0); cin.tie(0); 
        int t; cin >> t;
        while (t--) {
            solve();
        }
        return 0;
    }
