8.2 455. Assign Cookies
Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you should give each child at most one cookie.
Each child i has a greed factor gi, which is the minimum size of a cookie that the child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size `sj. If sj >= gi, we can assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.

8.3 376. Wiggle Subsequence
A wiggle sequence is a sequence where the differences between successive numbers strictly alternate between positive and negative. The first difference (if one exists) may be either positive or negative. A sequence with one element and a sequence with two non-equal elements are trivially wiggle sequences.
For example, `1, 7, 4, 9, 2, 5 is a wiggle sequence because the differences (6, -3, 5, -7, 3) alternate between positive and negative.
In contrast, `1, 4, 7, 2, 5 and 1, 7, 4, 5, 5 are not wiggle sequences. The first is not because its first two differences are positive, and the second is not because its last difference is zero.
A subsequence is obtained by deleting some elements (possibly zero) from the original sequence, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.
Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest wiggle subsequence of nums.

https://programmercarl.com/0376.摆动序列.html
删除单调坡上的元素。操作上遇到摆动就++即可。
特殊情况：
1.上下坡中有平坡
2.首尾元素：虚拟头节点+默认尾部有摆动。
3.单调坡中有平坡
```java
public class wiggleSubsequence {
public int wiggleMaxLength(int\[\] nums) {
if(nums.length <= 1)return nums.length;
int preDifference = 0;
int curDifference = 0;
//头节点算上，不遍历它
int result = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) {
curDifference = numsi - numsi-1;
if((preDifference >= 0 && curDifference < 0)||(preDifference <= 0 && curDifference > 0)){
result++;
preDifference = curDifference;
}
}
return result;
}
}
class wiggleSubsequenceTest {
public static void main(String\[\] args) {
int\[\] nums = {1,17,5,10,13,13,13,15,10,5,16,8};
wiggleSubsequence example = new wiggleSubsequence();
System.out.println(example.wiggleMaxLength(nums));
}
}
```
8.4 53. Maximum Subarray
Given an integer array nums, find the subarray with the largest sum, and return its sum.

当连续和是负数的时候，就抛弃
要随时保存最大值。
```java
public class maxSubarray {
public int maxSubArray(int\[\] nums) {
int cur = 0;
int result = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
cur += numsi;
result = Math.max(cur,result);
if(cur < 0) cur = 0;
}
return result;
}
}
```
