CF1991A.Maximize the Last Element
Maximize the Last Element
You are given an array of integers, where is odd.
In one operation, you will remove two adjacent elements from the array , and then concatenate the remaining parts of the array. For example, given the array , we can obtain the arrays and by the operations and respectively. However, we cannot obtain the array as it requires deleting non-adjacent elements .
You will repeatedly perform this operation until exactly one element remains in .
Find the maximum possible value of the remaining element in .
Input
Each test contains multiple test cases. The first line contains a single integer () — the number of test cases. The description of test cases follows.
The first line of each test case contains a single integer (; is odd) — the length of the array .
The second line of each test case contains integers () — the elements of the array .
Note that there is no bound on the sum of over all test cases.
Output
For each test case, output a single integer — the maximum possible value of the remaining element in .
Note
In the first test case, the array is . Since there is only one element, no operations are needed. The maximum possible value of the remaining element is .
In the second test case, the array is . We can remove the first two elements , or remove the last two elements . Therefore, the maximum possible value of the remaining element is .
In the third test case, the array is . One way to maximize the remaining element is $[4, \underline{7, 4}, 2, 9] \to [\underline{4, 2}, 9] \to [9]$. Therefore, the maximum possible value of the remaining element is .
In the fourth test case, the array is . It can be shown that the maximum possible value of the remaining element is .
