Solution: Maximal Score After Applying K Operations

Explore how to maximize a score from an integer array by repeatedly selecting the largest element, adding it to the score, and reducing it using a ceiling division. Learn to implement this solution efficiently with a max heap in C#. Understand the time and space complexities to apply this pattern in coding interviews focused on top K element problems.

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 ≤ ...
