561. Array Partition I

Given an array of 2n integers, your task is to group these integers into n pairs of integer, say (a₁, b₁), (a₂, b₂), …, (a_n, b_n) which makes sum of min(a_i, b_i) for all i from 1 to n as large as possible.

Example 1:

Input: [1,4,3,2]

Output: 4
Explanation: n is 2, and the maximum sum of pairs is 4 = min(1, 2) + min(3, 4).

Note:

1. n is a positive integer, which is in the range of [1, 10000].
2. All the integers in the array will be in the range of [-10000, 10000].

Python

 
class Solution(object):
    def arrayPairSum(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: int
        """
        nums.sort()
        return sum([v for k,v in enumerate(nums) if k%2==0])
