Solution: K Maximum Sum Combinations From Two Arrays

Explore how to find the k maximum sum combinations from two integer arrays by using sorting and a max heap. Understand how to avoid duplicates with a visited set and optimize the process for efficient performance. This lesson helps you apply the top k elements pattern to solve the problem with clear steps and complexity analysis.

Statement

You are given two integer arrays, arr1 and arr2, each of size nn. You are also given an integer k. Your task is to return the k largest sum combinations that can be formed by adding one element from arr1 and one element from arr2, for all possible pairs (arr1[i] + arr2[j]), where 0i,j<n0 ≤ i, j < n.

Note: The output should be sorted in non-increasing order.

Constraints:

  • 1n10001 ≤ n ≤ 1000

  • 11\leq arr1[i], arr2[i] 103\leq 10^3

  • ...
