If the optimal internal containing a[m] contains oneelement, it is simply a[m] But here the optimal interval containing a[m] is not a[m] alone. 4 alone gives you 4 * 4 = 16 Including 7, you will get (4 + 7) * 4 = 44 Then include 8, (4+7+8) * 4 = 76 Now try including 2, (2+4+7+8) * 2= 21*2

Hi, The proposed solution does not talk about multiplication. It talks about the sum alone. The sum is simply a[m]. Of course you need to muliply later.But that does not affect the correctness of the solution! Regards, Prunthaban On 9/24/06, GoCooL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is the original
