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), ..., (an, bn) which makes sum of min(ai, bi) 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.
Note:
n is a positive integer, which is in the range of [1, 10000].
All the integers in the array will be in the range of [-10000, 10000].
算法
使每对数字中最小的数字相加最大,假如一个小的数字和一个大的数字组成一组那么就会让大的数字牺牲掉,最节约的办法就是把两个相连的数字组成一队。

def arrayPairSum(self, nums):
"""
:type nums: List[int]
:rtype: int
"""
nums.sort()
return sum(nums[::2])
