So you have an array A of size N. Let's say 10 20 40 80 10 What we have to do it divide the array into two subSequence such that. The difference between the absolute value of first and second is minimum. in the above case, the answer would. first subSequence 10, 10 = 0 second 20 40 80. = (20 + 40) = 60

can anyone help?

Problem link Hi i am trying a variant of the above problem. with probabilty introduced with each node

From same problem our simplified but complicated version. Now lets assume from root ,all the vertices are directly connected to the root. But we the probability of selection of node i is p[i] such that any p[i]>0 and sum of p[i] is 1 We have to find the expected chances to delete the whole tree..same as the original problem

Now to deleted the root probability p[root] but now to delete the the children probability of direct removal is p[child]/p[root]+p[child]; But when i simulate i am getting wrong answer.. Can anybody help me where approach is going wrong
