[leetcode]561. Array Partition I

Given an array of 2n integers, your task is to group these integers into n pairs of integer, say (a1, b1), (a2, b2), ..., (an, bn) which makes sum of min(ai, bi) for all i from 1 to n as large as possible.

Example 1:

Input: [1,4,3,2]Output: 4Explanation: n is 2, and the maximum sum of pairs is 4.

Note:

1. n is a positive integer, which is in the range of [1, 10000].
2. All the integers in the array will be in the range of [-10000, 10000].

分析：

2n个数字分成n组，每组2个数字，取每组中较小的数字，求和。要求是得到的和最大，方法返回值即为这个最大和。

设2n个数字升序排序后为：a0，a1，a2，a3，….，a(2n-1)。 
猜想一下容易发现，最大和即为 (a0+a2+a4+….+a(2n-2))
