486 Predict the Winner

Given an array of scores that are non-negative integers. Player 1 picks one of the numbers from either end of the array followed by the player 2 and then player 1 and so on. Each time a player picks a number, that number will not be available for the next player. This continues until all the scores have been chosen. The player with the maximum score wins.

Given an array of scores, predict whether player 1 is the winner. You can assume each player plays to maximize his score.

Example 1:

Input: [1, 5, 2]
Output: False
Explanation: Initially, player 1 can choose between 1 and 2. 
If he chooses 2 (or 1), then player 2 can choose from 1 (or 2) and 5. If player 2 chooses 5, then player 1 will be left with 1 (or 2). 
So, final score of player 1 is 1 + 2 = 3, and player 2 is 5. 
Hence, player 1 will never be the winner and you need to return False.

Example 2:

Input: [1, 5, 233, 7]
Output: True
Explanation: Player 1 first chooses 1. Then player 2 have to choose between 5 and 7. No matter which number player 2 choose, player 1 can choose 233.
Finally, player 1 has more score (234) than player 2 (12), so you need to return True representing player1 can win.

Note:

• 1

• Any scores in the given array are non-negative integers and will not exceed 10,000,000.

• If the scores of both players are equal, then player 1 is still the winner.

DP Accepted

dp[i][j]代表在i与j之间，先发者最多能比后发者多拿的分数。动态转移方程dp[j][j+i] = max(nums[j+i]-dp[j][j+i-1], nums[j]-dp[j+1][j+i])代表最大值要么是取头并加上去头至尾部的dp值，要么是取尾并加上头至去尾的dp值，注意i、j的取值范围。

    }
