Problem
Given an integer array nums
and an integer k
, modify the array in the following way:
- choose an index
i
and replacenums[i]
with-nums[i]
.
You should apply this process exactly k
times. You may choose the same index i
multiple times.
Return the largest possible sum of the array after modifying it in this way.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [4,2,3], k = 1 Output: 5 Explanation: Choose index 1 and nums becomes [4,-2,3].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3,-1,0,2], k = 3 Output: 6 Explanation: Choose indices (1, 2, 2) and nums becomes [3,1,0,2].
Example 3:
Input: nums = [2,-3,-1,5,-4], k = 2 Output: 13 Explanation: Choose indices (1, 4) and nums becomes [2,3,-1,5,4].
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 104
-100 <= nums[i] <= 100
1 <= k <= 104
