Random Pick with Weight

Explore how to perform weighted random selection in an array by implementing a function that picks indices based on their weight proportions. Understand the problem constraints and use techniques involving prefix sums and modified binary search to efficiently choose indices. This lesson helps you develop a method to handle weighted probabilities and apply randomized algorithms in an interview scenario.
