    Problem

    You are given an integer array values where values[i] represents the value of the ith sightseeing spot. Two sightseeing spots i and j have a distance j - i between them.

    The score of a pair (i < j) of sightseeing spots is values[i] + values[j] + i - j: the sum of the values of the sightseeing spots, minus the distance between them.

    Return the maximum score of a pair of sightseeing spots.

      Example 1:

    Input: values = [8,1,5,2,6]
    Output: 11
    Explanation: i = 0, j = 2, values[i] + values[j] + i - j = 8 + 5 + 0 - 2 = 11
    

    Example 2:

    Input: values = [1,2]
    Output: 2
    

      Constraints:

    Solution (Java)

    class Solution {
        public int maxScoreSightseeingPair(int[] values) {
            int bestPrevious = values[0];
            int maxSum = 0;
            for (int i = 1; i < values.length; ++i) {
                maxSum = Math.max(maxSum, bestPrevious + values[i] - i);
                bestPrevious = Math.max(bestPrevious, values[i] + i);
            }
            return maxSum;
        }
    }
    

    Explain:

    nope.
