Dynamic Programming

Description

Given an integer n, break it into the sum of k positive integers, where k >= 2, and maximize the product of those integers.

Return the maximum product you can get.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: 2 = 1 + 1, 1 × 1 = 1.

Example 2:

Input: n = 10
Output: 36
Explanation: 10 = 3 + 3 + 4, 3 × 3 × 4 = 36.

 

Constraints:

  • 2 <= n <= 58

Hints

Hint 1
There is a simple O(n) solution to this problem.
Hint 2
You may check the breaking results of <i>n</i> ranging from 7 to 10 to discover the regularities.
