Problem Statement |
| | You are a programming team coach, and your task is to put together the best possible team of three students. There are several students willing to join the team, and their ratings are given in the int[] ratings, where the i-th element is the rating of the i-th student. Unfortunately, some students cannot work together. You are given a String[] compatibility, where the j-th character of the i-th element is 'Y' if the i-th student and j-th student can work together, and 'N' otherwise. You must pick a team of three students such that everybody on the team can work with everybody else on the team, and the sum of their ratings is as high as possible. Return the sum of the team members' ratings, or -1 if it is impossible to pick such a team. |
