hi everyone i am trying to solve a question . the question goes like this

you have given an array you have to maximize the cost factor of array and cost can be calculated in following way

COST = A*a[i]-B*a[j]+C*a[k]+D*a[l]+E*a[m] where i<j<k<l<m

now you have given A,B,C,D,E , maximize the cost of given array

sample test case n= 5

array = { 10 17 15 6 17}

A=8, B=5, C=4, D=6, E=9

Output is 172

..............................................................................

MY approach is simple i make a dp[n][4] and dp[i][0] calculate the max of A*a[i] till i , dp[j][1] calculate the max of A*a[i]-B*a[j] and so on ..
