Official Problem Statement

Fruit Feast

Problem

In the "Fruit Feast" problem, Bessie the cow is preparing for a fruit feast. There are two types of fruits, apples and oranges, with certain amounts of tastiness. However, after consuming fruits, Bessie can take a nap, during which she can digest up to half of the fruit consumed so far. Bessie can only nap once.

More specifically:

• Each apple has a tastiness of A (1 ≤ A ≤ 1,000,000,000).
• Each orange has a tastiness of B (1 ≤ B ≤ 1,000,000,000).
• Bessie can consume up to T units of tastiness (1 ≤ T ≤ 1,000,000,000).
• The tastiness of the fruits Bessie consumes cannot exceed T. However, if Bessie decides to take a nap, she will digest up to half of the tastiness of the fruits she has consumed (rounded down).

The goal is to determine the maximum tastiness Bessie can achieve after possibly taking a nap.

Solution

We use dynamic programming to solve this problem. Let dp[i][j] be the maximum tastiness that Bessie can achieve after consuming fruits with a total tastiness of i and taking j naps (0 if no nap is taken, 1 if a nap is taken). We have:

dp[i][0] = max(dp[i-A][0], dp[i-B][0]) if i-A >= 0 or i-B >= 0 dp[i][1] = max(dp[i][1], dp[i//2][0] if i//2 >= 0)

The first equation represents consuming an apple or an orange without taking a nap, while the second equation represents taking a nap after consuming some fruits.

Finally, the maximum tastiness that Bessie can achieve is max(dp[i][1] for i in range(T+1)).

Note that to save memory, we can use a rolling array and compute dp[i] in non-decreasing order of i. The time complexity is O(T), and the space complexity is O(T) without optimizations, or O(1) with a rolling array.

    seen[0][0] = true;

    for(int nap = 0; nap < seen.size(); nap++) {
        for(int i = 0; i < seen[nap].size(); i++) {
            if (!seen[nap][i]) continue;
            if (i + appleTastiness <= maxTastiness) {
