Alice and Bob continue their games with piles of stones. There are a number of piles arranged in a row, and each pile has a positive integer number of stones piles[i]
. The objective of the game is to end with the most stones.
Alice and Bob take turns, with Alice starting first. Initially, M = 1
.
On each player’s turn, that player can take all the stones in the first X
remaining piles, where 1 <= X <= 2M
. Then, we set M = max(M, X)
.
The game continues until all the stones have been taken.
Assuming Alice and Bob play optimally, return the maximum number of stones Alice can get.
Example 1:
Input: piles = [2,7,9,4,4]
Output: 10
Explanation: If Alice takes one pile at the beginning, Bob takes two piles, then Alice takes 2 piles again. Alice can get 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 piles in total. If Alice takes two piles at the beginning, then Bob can take all three piles left. In this case, Alice get 2 + 7 = 9 piles in total. So we return 10 since it’s larger.
Example 2:
Input: piles = [1,2,3,4,5,100]
Output: 104
Constraints:
1 <= piles.length <= 100
1 <= piles[i] <= 104
