[leetcode-651-4 Keys Keyboard]

Imagine you have a special keyboard with the following keys:

Key 1: (A): Prints one 'A' on screen.

Key 2: (Ctrl-A): Select the whole screen.

Key 3: (Ctrl-C): Copy selection to buffer.

Key 4: (Ctrl-V): Print buffer on screen appending it after what has already been printed.

Now, you can only press the keyboard for N times (with the above four keys), find out the maximum numbers of 'A' you can print on screen.

Example 1:

Input: N = 3
Output: 3
Explanation:
We can at most get 3 A's on screen by pressing following key sequence:
A, A, A

Example 2:

Input: N = 7
Output: 9
Explanation:
We can at most get 9 A's on screen by pressing following key sequence:
A, A, A, Ctrl A, Ctrl C, Ctrl V, Ctrl V

Note:

1. 1 <= N <= 50
2. Answers will be in the range of 32-bit signed integer.

思路：

要想N步生成最多个A，可在N-2步的时候，Ctrl A，N-1步的时候，Ctrl C，第N步的时候Ctrl V，这样就能将N-3步生成的A的个数，翻倍。

如何确定在第几步Ctrl A，然后再Ctrl C、Ctrl V呢，需要依次判断第i-3步之前的步骤。

得到递推公式 dp[i] = max(dp[i],dp[i-j-1]);dp[i]表示第i步生成的最多的A的个数。

int maxA(int N)
 {
   vector<int>dp(N+);
   for(int i=;i<=N;i++)
   {
     dp[i] = i;
     for(int j=;j<=i-;j++)
     {
       dp[i] = max(dp[i],dp[j]*(i-j-+));
    }
  }
  return dp[N];
}
