Solution: Find the K-Sum of an Array
Explore how to determine the kth largest possible subsequence sum in an integer array by transforming the problem using sorting and a min heap. Understand how to compute minimal losses from the maximum positive sum and apply a heap-based approach to identify the kth largest sum efficiently.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an integer array, nums, and a positive integer k. Your task is to determine and return the
Remember: For valid subsequences:
The empty subsequence is valid, and its sum is considered
. Duplicate subsequence sums are allowed and counted separately when determining the
largest.
Constraints:
