      i did exactly the same,however it failed two test cases :(

      • kwiatek999 + 3 comments

        I had the same - I think you accumulate the result on an int that is overflowing, try long long

        • vvvincentvan + 0 comments

          I think the problem might be that it's not exactly up or down trends, when you go throuth the sequence from both side, and meet in the middle, you don't have to raise all the value in the left part or the right part. I think the best way is divide and conquer algorithm.

          I had the same 2 tests failing. It was enough to save the sum in a long, rather than in a int.

          Using long worked for me.

        try this test case:-

        10
        9 2 3 6 5 4 3 2 2 2

            how it is 20?

            • rav_gupta11 + 2 comments

              In your solution '<' should be there instead of '<=', read first solved example.

                    for(int i = 1 ; i < n  ;i++){ //forward track
        if(arr[i] > arr[i-1]){
            dp[i] = dp[i] + dp[i-1]; 
        }
    }

    for(int i = n-2 ; i >= 0 ; i--){ // back track
        if(arr[i] > arr[i+1] && dp[i] <= dp[i+1]){
            dp[i] = dp[i+1] + 1;
        }
    }

    its 22 ..

                  I don't think it's a true dp as we are doing reinforcement in the dp array which is not done generally. I also had somewhat same solution but my array name was not dp as mentioned earlier.

                    9 2 3 6 5 4 3 2 2 2

                    1,1,2,3,1,1,1,1,1,1 right

                    2,1,1,5,4,3,2,1,1,1 left

                    find out the max for each reasult

                    2,1,2,5,4,3,2,1,1,1

                    2+1+2+5+4+3+2+1+1= 20

                      brother your maths need to be brushed up first off all you havn't included the last (1) in your result and even if you have not included, you haven't sum up all the values right 2+1+2+5+4+3+2+1+1 = 21

        take the data type of result as long long int instead of int
