Maximum sum of two non-overlapping subarrays of a given size

same problem but with subsequence.

• we are hoping to get two maximum sum sub-array one from left side, and another from right.
• both of them separated just from a slider, before the slider we should be prepared with the maximum sub-array with size K, and same at the right hand side.
• let’s talk before the slider first.
• first we must prepare a window of size K.
• after having the window, slide it storing the maximum sum at every i.
• do the same for the right hand side of slider.
• now then we have value stored that we need.
• in another loop iterate the slider once again and get the answer by the sum of left hand side of slider and the right hand side of the slider.

int maxSumTwoSubarray(int arr[], int N, int K) {
  vector<int> prefix(N), suffix(N);
  vector<int> pre(N), suf(N);

  int sum = 0;

  // preparing sliding window of size K.
  for (int i = 0; i < K; i++) {
    sum += arr[i];
    prefix[i] = sum;
  }

  // note that we have been asked the subarray, therefore will have to proceed
  // this way, otherwise will have to proceed the priority_queue/set method if
  // the subsequence would have been asked.
  for (int i = K; i < N; ++i) {
    sum -= arr[i - K];
    sum += arr[i];
    prefix[i] = sum;
  }

  sum = 0;

  // preparing a sliding window of size K from the end.
  for (int i = N - 1; i >= N - K; i--) {
    sum += arr[i];
    suffix[i] = sum;
  }

  for (int i = N - K - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    sum -= arr[i + K];
    sum += arr[i];
    suffix[i] = sum;
  }

  // till i < K, means sliding window was being prepared, we wont be able to
  // judge answert at this point.
  for (int i = 0; i < K; i++)
    pre[i] = prefix[i];

  // after that we will begin the process of finding the maximum subarray sum.
  for (int i = K; i < prefix.size(); i++)
    pre[i] = max(pre[i - 1], prefix[i]);

  for (int i = N - 1; i >= N - 1 - K; i--)

  for (int i = N - 1 - K - 1; i >= 0; i--)

  reverse(suf.begin(), suf.end());

  int ans = -1e9;

  // for left hand side subarray, we will be requiring just after index, maximum
  // sum subarray.
  for (int i = K - 1; i <= N - 1 - K; i++) {
    ans = max(ans, pre[i] + suf[i + 1]);
