Maximize dot product

Easy
Accuracy: 13.27% Points: 2

Given two arrays a and b of positive integers of size n and m where n >= m, the task is to maximize the dot product by inserting zeros in the second array but you cannot disturb the order of elements.

Dot product of array a and b of size n is a[0]*b[0] + a[1]*b[1] + ... + a[n-1]*b[n-1].

💡Example 1:

Input: 
n = 5, a[] = {2, 3, 1, 7, 8} 
m = 3, b[] = {3, 6, 7}
Output: 
107
Explanation: 
We get maximum dot product after inserting 0 at first and third positions in second array.
Therefore b becomes {0, 3, 0, 6, 7}. 
Maximum dot product = 2*0 + 3*3 + 1*0 + 7*6 + 8*7 = 107.

💡Example 2:

Input: 
n = 3, a[] = {1, 2, 3}
m = 1, b[] = {4} 
Output: 
12 
Explanation: 
We get maximum dot product after inserting 0 at first and second positions in second array.
Therefore b becomes {0, 0, 4}. 
Maximum Dot Product = 1*0 + 2*0 + 3*4 = 12.

Your Task:

  • You don't need to read input or print anything. Complete the function maxDotProduct() which takes n, m, array a and b as input parameters and returns the maximum value.

Expected Time Complexity:

O(n*m)

Expected Space Complexity:

O(n*m)

Constraints:

1 ≤ m ≤n ≤ 10^3

1 ≤ a[i], b[i] ≤ 10^3
