Language: Merging Sequences Problem
Description Let S be a sequence of n integers, where S[k] with 1 <= k <= n denotes the k-th number of S. The maximum prefix sum of S, denoted h(S), is defined to be
h(S) = max0<=j<=n∑1<=k<=jS[k].
(Note that the range for j starting from 0 is to ensure h(S) >= 0, because ∑1<=k<=0S[k]=0.) For example, if W = −2, 1,−3; X = 1, 2, 4, 3,−1,−5, 2, 0,−1, 3,−2; Y = −1, 2, 0, 1, 3,−5, 3, 2, 4,−2,−1, then h(W) = 0, h(X) = 1+2+4+3 = 10 and h(Y) = −1+2+0+1+3−5+3+2+4 = 9. For each i = 1, 2, . . . , l, let Si be a sequence of ni integers. We say that a sequence S of n numbers is a merged sequence of S1, S2, . . . , Sl if the following conditions hold. 1. n = n1 + n2 + ... + nl. 2. There is a 1-1 mapping f from {1, 2, . . . , n} to {(i, j) | 1 <= i <= l and 1 <= j <= ni} such that if f(t) = (i, j) then S[t] = Si[j]. 3. If t < t', f(t) = (i, j) and f(t') = (i, j'), then j < j'. For example, if we have S1 = 1, 3,−5, 2,−2; S2 = 2, 4,−1; S3 = −1, 0, 3, then both X and Y above are merged sequences of S1, S2, S3. The following sequence,however, is not a merged sequence of S1, S2, S3. Z = 1, 3,−5, 2,−2, 2, 4,−1,−1, 3, 0. (Clearly, if the last two numbers 3 and 0 in Z are exchanged, then the resulting sequence is a merged sequence of S1, S2, S3.) Your job is to produce a merged sequence S of S1, S2, . . . , Sl with minimum h(S*). For instance, the following sequence is a merged sequence for the above S1, S2, S3 whose maximum prefix sum is minimized: S* = −1, 1, 0, 3,−5, 2,−2, 2, 4,−1, 3. One can verify that h(S) = −1 + 1 + 0 + 3 − 5 + 2 − 2 + 2 + 4 − 1 + 3 = 6. Input The first line contains a number m with 1 <= m <= 10 indicating the number of test cases. Each of the next m lines lists a test case. Each test case lists those l (1 <= l <= 5) input sequences separated by numbers 9999. Each test case ends with a number −9999. Two consecutive numbers in a sequence are separated by at least one single space. You may assume that each input sequence consists of at most 100 integers, each of which is between −100 and 100. Output For each test case S1, S2, . . . , Sl, output its h(S*) in a single line.
