Introduction

“The time is the most valuable thing.” -Vinay Chhabra & Manish Dewan. Time is much more valuable for engineers since it is a natural constraint that can not be stopped and what engineers do is to fight with constraints.

A food processing factory processes the raw materials sent by customers and turns them into the desired final product. There are two machines in the factory. These are the A and B machines. For a raw material to be converted into the desired final product, it must be processed in A and B machines at certain predetermined times depending on the properties of the product. This process takes place sequentially. Machine A takes the raw material and turns it into an intermediate product, while machine B transforms this intermediate product into the final product. The raw material is perishable before entering machine A, so it must be sent to the factory by the customer exactly at the time it should enter machine A. The intermediate product produced by machine A is not perishable and can be sent to machine B at any time to be processed.

The factory has received an order. In this order, the names of the requested products, the time required for the raw material to be spent in the A and B machines to convert the products into the final product, and the profits to be obtained from the products are written respectively. Factory engineer is a smart person with good time management. S/he listed all these jobs as the shortest time from the beginning of the first job to the end of the last job. According to this list, s/he determined the start time of each job. S/he also determined the time when all jobs will be done. S/he sent these start times to the customer so that they could send the required raw materials exactly at that time, and the end time was the deadline for the contract to be made. The customer found these deadlines appropriate, and the contract was made. If the factory cannot grow a product within the specified deadline, it cannot receive the money it should receive for this product.

After the contract was signed, inspectors from the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization came to the factory. Investigators inspected machines A and B and sealed them as they were not environmentally friendly. The factory, which will no longer use these two machines, has bought a new machine that performs the work of these two machines on a single belt. This machine takes the raw material and turns it directly into the final product. The time taken for this process is equal to one of the times that the product must spend in the machine A or B in the order list. If the product is a solid type, the total time taken for the new machine to produce the product is equal to the time the product must spend in machine A in the order list; if the product is a liquid type, the total time it takes for the new machine to produce the product is equal to the time the product must spend in machine B in the order list.

The engineer examined the new machine and predicted that under these conditions, some of the products in the contract may not be grown within the specified deadline. Therefore, if it cannot grow all of them, it has decided to produce some of the products in a way that will maximize the profit of the factory. In this project, you are asked to calculate the maximum profit that the company can achieve in this case by looking at the order list given to you by the factory engineer.

Details

  • For each case, the output consists of one integer, int1. It is the maximum profit that the factory can gain after machine A and machine B are banned and the new machine starts to process.
  • Customers send raw material on the day in the contract. Dates are determined according to times that products started to be processed on machine A. Raw material can not be sent before or after that time because of its perishable properties.
  • Start and end times of the products that may be processed on the new machine are determined based on the type of products. Start time is always the time when raw material is reached to the factory. (It is starting time of the process on the machine A for each product). End time is start time + X where X is machine A’s process time of the product if the product is solid otherwise machine B’s process time of the product.

Input/Output

Input

  1. The first line represents the type of products respectively.
  2. The second line represents the processing times of the products on machine A respectively.
  3. The third line represents the processing times of the products on machine B respectively.
  4. The fourth line represents the profit gained by the factory by processing products respectively.
  5. The fifth line represents the receiving times of each product according to the signed contract.

Output

  1. An integer representing the potential maximum profit of the factory.
