Given an array arr[] of size N and a positive integer K, the task is to find the maximum prefix sum after K reversals of the given array.
Examples:
Input: arr[] = {1, 5, 8, 9, 11, 2}, K = 1
Output: 36
Explanation: Reverse the array once. Therefore, the array becomes {2, 11, 9, 8, 5, 1}. Maximum prefix sum = 2 + 11 + 9 + 8 + 5 + 1 = 36.Input: arr[] = {5, 6, -4, 3, -2, -10}, K = 2
Output : 11
Explanation: Reverse the array twice. Therefore, the array becomes {5, 6, -4, 3, -2, -10}. Maximum prefix sum = 5 + 6=11.
Naive Approach: The simplest approach is to reverse the array K times and after K reversals, find the maximum prefix sum possible by traversing the array and print the maximum sum.
Algorithm to implement this approach:
Reverse the entire array K times using a loop.
We can implement the reversal operation by swapping the first and last elements, then the second and second-last elements, and so on, until we reach the middle of the array.
Traverse the array and calculate the prefix sum at each index.
Keep track of the maximum prefix sum seen so far.
Return the maximum prefix sum.

Efficient Approach: To optimize the above approach, the idea is based on the observation that if K is odd, then the array gets reversed. Otherwise, the array remains unchanged. Therefore, if K is odd, find the maximum suffix sum. Otherwise, find the maximum prefix sum. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:
- Initialize sum as INT_MIN to store the required answer.
- If K is odd, reverse the array arr[].
- Initialize currSum as 0 to store the prefix sum of elements.
- Traverse the array arr[] using the variable i and perform the following:
- Add arr[i] to the variable currSum.
- If the value of currSum is greater than the sum, then update the sum as currSum.
- After the above steps, print the value of the sum as the result.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
