TopCoder：ZigZag（动态规划--最长非降子序列）

看动态规划的题 在topcoder里看的这道题就来练练手

Problem Statement 

A sequence of numbers is called a zig-zag sequence if the differences between successive numbers strictly alternate between positive and negative. The first difference (if one exists) may be either positive or negative. A sequence with fewer than two elements is trivially a zig-zag sequence.


For example, 1,7,4,9,2,5 is a zig-zag sequence because the differences (6,-3,5,-7,3) are alternately positive and negative. In contrast, 1,4,7,2,5 and 1,7,4,5,5 are not zig-zag sequences, the first because its first two differences are positive and the second because its last difference is zero.


Given a sequence of integers, sequence, return the length of the longest subsequence of sequence that is a zig-zag sequence. A subsequence is obtained by deleting some number of elements (possibly zero) from the original sequence, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.

Examples
0)
   
{ 1, 7, 4, 9, 2, 5 }
Returns: 6
The entire sequence is a zig-zag sequence.
1)
   
{ 1, 17, 5, 10, 13, 15, 10, 5, 16, 8 }
Returns: 7
There are several subsequences that achieve this length. One is 1,17,10,13,10,16,8.
2)
   
{ 44 }
Returns: 1
3)
   
{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }
Returns: 2
4)
   
{ 70, 55, 13, 2, 99, 2, 80, 80, 80, 80, 100, 19, 7, 5, 5, 5, 1000, 32, 32 }
Returns: 8
5)
   
{ 374, 40, 854, 203, 203, 156, 362, 279, 812, 955, 
600, 947, 978, 46, 100, 953, 670, 862, 568, 188, 
67, 669, 810, 704, 52, 861, 49, 640, 370, 908, 
477, 245, 413, 109, 659, 401, 483, 308, 609, 120, 
249, 22, 176, 279, 23, 22, 617, 462, 459, 244 }

Returns: 36

题目大意是：一个数字序列如果严格遵守正负之间持续交替的差异称为Zig-Zag序列。第一个差异（如果存在）可以是正的或负的。
例如，1,7,4,9,2,5是Zig-Zag序列因为差异（6,-3,5,-7,3）交替的正面和负面的。相反，1,4,7,2,5和1,7,4,5,5不是Zig-Zag序列，
给定一个整数序列，返回序列的最长Zig-Zag序列。

思路：和求解最长非降子序列的思想一样，a[i]为当前数字，a[j]为前面的数字，down[]为该数下一个数比他小的序列的长度,如:1,17                                            17的down[1]=2,up[1]=1           up[]为该数下一个数比他大的序列的长度,如:2,1  1的up[1]=2,down[1]=1

         若a[j]<a[i]:则a[i]下一个数应该比他小，down[i]=up[j]+1;

         若a[j]>a[i]:则a[i]下一个数应该比他大，up[i]=down[j]+1;

         len表示当前序列长度最大的.
