Solution: Maximal Score After Applying K Operations
Explore how to maximize your score by applying k operations on an array in C++. Learn to use a max heap to repeatedly select the largest element, add it to the score, reduce it by dividing and rounding up, then manage it efficiently over iterations. Understand both the implementation and the time and space complexity involved.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given a 0-indexed array of integer nums and an integer k. Your task is to maximize a score through a series of operations. Initially, your score is set to
In each operation:
Select an index
i(whereinums.length).Add the value of
nums[i]to your score.Replace
nums[i]withceil(nums[i] / 3).
Repeat this process exactly k times and return the highest score you can achieve.
The ceiling function
ceil(value)is the least integer greater than or equal tovalue.
