Construct sequence using a specified number of integers within a range. The sequence must be strictly increasing at first and th

en strictly decreasing. The goal is to maximize the sequence array elements starting from the beginning. For example, [4, 5, 4, 3, 2] beats [3,4,5,4,3] because its first element is larger, and [4, 5, 6, 5, 4] beats [4,5,4,3,2] because its third element is larger. Given the length of the sequence and the range of integers, return the winning sequence. If it is not possible to construct such a sequence, return -1. Write an algorithm that returns a winning sequence and -1 if the sequence is not possible. Input The input to the function/method consists of three arguments: num : an integer representing the size of sequence to create lower End : an integer representing the lower end of integer range upperEnd : an integer representing the upper end of integer range.

Answer:

Explanation:

The following code is written in Java. It first creates a function that takes in the three parameters to create the sequence, if the sequence is valid it returns the created sequence, otherwise it prints -1 and returns an empty array. The second function called compareSequences takes in to sequences as parameters and compares them, printing out the winner. A test case has been provided in the main method and the output can be seen in the image below.

import java.util.Arrays;

class Brainly {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       int[] seq1 = createSequence(5, 4, 2);

       int[] seq2 = createSequence(5, 3, 3);

       System.out.println("Winner: " + Arrays.toString(compareSequences(seq1, seq2)));

   }

   public static int[] createSequence(int num, int upperEnd, int lowerEnd) {

       int[] myArray = new int[num];

       int middle = (int) Math.floor(num/2.0);

       myArray[0] = upperEnd;

       myArray[num-1] = lowerEnd;

       int currentValue = upperEnd;

       for (int i = 1; i < num-1; i++) {

           if (i <= middle) {

               myArray[i] = currentValue + 1;

               currentValue += 1;

           } else {

               myArray[i] = currentValue - 1;

               currentValue += 1;

           }

       }

       System.out.println(Arrays.toString(myArray));

       if (myArray[num-2] < lowerEnd) {

           System.out.println("-1");

           int[] empty = {};

           return empty;

       } else {

           return myArray;

       }

   }

   public static int[] compareSequences(int[] seq1, int[] seq2) {

       int lowestLength;

       if (seq1.length > seq2.length) {

           lowestLength = seq2.length;

       } else {

           lowestLength = seq1.length;

       }

       for (int i = 0; i < lowestLength; i++) {

           if (seq1[i] > seq2[i]) {

               return seq1;

           } else if (seq1[i] < seq2[i]) {

               return seq2;

           }

       }

       if (seq1.length > seq2.length) {

           return seq1;

       } else {

           return seq2;

       }

   }

}
