HackerEarth Pro and Con List problem solution

In this HackerEarth Pro and Con List problem solution, There is a long list of n girls in front of Barney, and he is to calculate the optimal “happiness” he can find by selecting exactly 2 girls. (Why 2? No one knows!)

Ted, as a fan of pros and cons, suggests to make a list, a method for estimating the maximum happiness that Barney can achieve.

Each girl is characterized by two parameters:

– favour: if this girl is chosen, his happiness increases by this amount.

– anger: if this girl is not chosen, his happiness decreases by this amount.

Find the maximum “happiness” that Barney can obtain. Note that the answer is allowed to be negative.
