Coin Row

This C++ program uses a dynamic programming approach to find the maximum value that can be obtained from a coin row problem using a given set of coin values. It takes in a user-input number of coins, stores the coin values in an array, calculates the maximum amounts for all subproblems and stores them in another array, and finally outputs the overall maximum value and the coins in the optimal set.
