There is a pizza with 3n
slices of varying size, you and your friends will take slices of pizza as follows:
Given an integer array slices
that represent the sizes of the pizza slices in a clockwise direction, return the maximum possible sum of slice sizes that you can pick.
Example 1:
Input: slices = [1,2,3,4,5,6] Output: 10 Explanation: Pick pizza slice of size 4, Alice and Bob will pick slices with size 3 and 5 respectively. Then Pick slices with size 6, finally Alice and Bob will pick slice of size 2 and 1 respectively. Total = 4 + 6.
Example 2:
Input: slices = [8,9,8,6,1,1] Output: 16 Explanation: Pick pizza slice of size 8 in each turn. If you pick slice with size 9 your partners will pick slices of size 8.
Constraints:
3 * n == slices.length
1 <= slices.length <= 500
1 <= slices[i] <= 1000
