MatrixChain
to find an optimum order by using MatrixChain algorithm
example output:
The given array is:[30, 35, 15, 5, 10, 20, 25]
The optimum order is:((A1(A2A3))((A4A5)A6))
The total number of multiplications is: 15125

The random array is：[5, 8, 8, 2, 5, 9]
The optimum order is:((A1(A2A3))(A4A5))
The total number of multiplications is: 388
