Solution: Maximum Points After Enemy Battles
Explore how to apply greedy techniques to solve the Maximum Points After Enemy Battles problem. Understand the strategy of using the weakest enemy repeatedly while absorbing others to maximize points under energy constraints. This lesson helps you implement an optimal approach emphasizing sorting and strategic resource management.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an integer array enemyEnergies where each element represents the energy value of an enemy, and an integer currentEnergy representing your initial energy.
You start with
Operation 1 — Choose an unmarked enemy i such that currentEnergy >= enemyEnergies[i]:
Your points increase by
. Your energy decreases:
currentEnergy = currentEnergy - enemyEnergies[i].
Operation 2 — If you have at least i:
Your energy increases:
currentEnergy = currentEnergy + enemyEnergies[i].Enemy
ibecomes marked.
Return the maximum number of points you can achieve by performing these operations optimally.
