Solution: Minimum Number of Refueling Stops
Explore how to solve the minimum refueling stops problem by applying a greedy algorithm that prioritizes refueling at stations with the maximum fuel. Understand the step-by-step approach using a max-heap to track fuel capacities and learn how to implement this efficient method to optimize travel distance and stops.

Statement
You need to find the minimum number of refueling stops that a car needs to make to cover a distance, target. For simplicity, assume that the car has to travel from west to east in a straight line. There are various fuel stations on the way that are represented as a 2-D array of stations, i.e., stations[i] , where is the distance (in miles) of the ...
