Solution: Least Number of Unique Integers after K Removals
Understand how to minimize the number of distinct integers remaining after exactly k removals from an array. Learn to count element frequencies, use a min-heap for efficient access to least frequent elements, and apply this knowledge to remove elements optimally, ensuring the smallest unique integer count remains. This lesson covers the step-by-step solution and analyzes its time and space complexities.
