Get Maximum in Generated Array

You are given an integer n. A 0-indexed integer array nums of length n + 1 is generated in the following way:

  • nums[0] = 0
  • nums[1] = 1
  • nums[2 * i] = nums[i] when 2 <= 2 * i <= n
  • nums[2 * i + 1] = nums[i] + nums[i + 1] when 2 <= 2 * i + 1 <= n

Return the maximum integer in the array nums​​​.

Example 1:

Input: n = 7
Output: 3
Explanation: According to the given rules:
nums[0] = 0
nums[1] = 1
nums[(1 * 2) = 2] = nums[1] = 1
nums[(1 * 2) + 1 = 3] = nums[1] + nums[2] = 1 + 1 = 2
nums[(2 * 2) = 4] = nums[2] = 1
nums[(2 * 2) + 1 = 5] = nums[2] + nums[3] = 1 + 2 = 3
nums[(3 * 2) = 6] = nums[3] = 2
nums[(3 * 2) + 1 = 7] = nums[3] + nums[4] = 2 + 1 = 3
Hence, nums = [0,1,1,2,1,3,2,3], and the maximum is max(0,1,1,2,1,3,2,3) = 3.

Example 2:

Input: n = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: According to the given rules, nums = [0,1,1]. The maximum is max(0,1,1) = 1.

Example 3:

Input: n = 3
Output: 2
Explanation: According to the given rules, nums = [0,1,1,2]. The maximum is max(0,1,1,2) = 2.

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 100

SOLUTION:

class Solution:
    def getMaximumGenerated(self, n: int) -> int:
        if n == 0:
            return 0
        arr = [0] * (n + 1)
        arr[1] = 1
        for i in range(n + 1):
            if 2 * i <= n:
                arr[2 * i] = arr[i]
            if 2 * i + 1 <= n:
                arr[2 * i + 1] = arr[i] + arr[i + 1]
        return max(arr)
