Solution: Maximal Score After Applying K Operations

Explore how to maximize your score by performing k operations on an integer array in C++. Learn to use a max heap (priority queue) to repeatedly select, add, and reduce the largest elements efficiently. Understand the implementation details, time complexity of O(k log n), and apply this pattern to similar top K element problems in coding interviews.

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 00.

In each operation:

  1. Select an index i (where 00 ≤ ...
