Solution: Maximum Value at a Given Index in a Bounded Array

Explore how to maximize the value at a given array index while ensuring sum limits using modified binary search. Understand constructing arrays with bounded elements and learn to efficiently calculate sums using arithmetic progressions. This lesson helps you apply these strategies to solve constrained optimization problems within coding interviews.

Statement

Given three positive integers, n, index, and maxSum, output the nums[index] by constructing an array of nums with the length of n, which satisfies the following conditions:

  • The length of the array nums is equal to n.

  • Each element nums[i] is a positive integer, where 11\leq ...
