I have come across a problem but wasn't able to solve... Can someone help me with below problem.
You are given n balloons(n is even), indexed from 0 to n — 1. Each balloon is painted with a number on it represented by an array nums. You are asked to burst all the balloons.
If you burst the two adjacent(let be i,i+1) balloon, you will get nums[i — 1] * nums[i] * nums[i + 1]*nums[i + 2] coins. If i — 1 or i + 2 goes out of bounds of the array, then treat it as if there is a balloon with a 1 painted on it.After bursting i and i+1 ,i-1 and i+2 would become adjacent.
Return the maximum coins you can collect by bursting the balloons wisely.
Constraints:
1<n<=500
1<=nums[i]<=1000
TestCase:
n=4
nums=[3,1,5,8]
Explaination remove element at index 1,2 i.e(1,5) will get score= 3 x 1 x 5 x 8 =120
array would become [3,8] removing this two would get us score= 1 x 3 x 8 x 1=24
ans=144

similar problem but with one ballon burst instead of two

Can someone please help me with the approach or mention someone who can help???
