Solution: Construct Target Array With Multiple Sums

Understand how to solve the problem of constructing a target array from an array of ones by applying a reverse approach with heaps and modulo operations. This lesson teaches you to reduce the problem size efficiently by processing the largest elements first, leading to a scalable and computationally effective solution.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given an array target of n integers.

Starting from an array arr of size n where every element is 1, you may perform the following operation any number of times:

  • Let x be the sum of all current elements in arr.

  • Pick an index i and set arr[i] = x.

Your task is to return True if it’s possible to construct target from arr, otherwise return False.

Constraints:

  • n == target.length ...
