There is a biker going on a road trip. The road trip consists of n + 1 points at different altitudes. The biker starts his trip on point 0 with altitude equal 0.
You are given an integer array gain of length n where gain[i] is the net gain in altitude between points i and i + 1 for all (0 <= i < n). Return the highest altitude of a point.
Example
Input: gain = [-5,1,5,0,-7]
Output: 1
Explanation: The altitudes are [0,-5,-4,1,1,-6]. The highest is 1.
Solution
/**
* @param {number[]} gain
* @return {number}
*/
var largestAltitude = function (gain) {
// Set max to 0
let max = 0;
// Set current to 0
let current = 0;
// Iterate through gain
for (let i = 0; i < gain.length; i++) {
// Add gain[i] to current
current += gain[i];
// If current is greater than max
if (current > max) {
// Set max to current
max = current;
}
}
// Return max
return max;
};
