Minimum Number of Refueling Stops

Understand how to apply greedy techniques in C++ to determine the minimum number of refueling stops needed for a car to reach its destination. This lesson guides you through problem analysis, constraints, and coding practice to efficiently solve optimization challenges relevant to coding interviews.

Statement

You need to find the minimum number of refueling stops that a car needs to make to cover a distance, target. For simplicity, assume that the car has to travel from west to east in a straight line. There are various fuel stations on the way that are represented as a 2-D array of stations, i.e., stations[i] =[di,fi]= [d_i, f_i], where did_i ...
