Solution: Final Array State After K Multiplication Operations I

Understand how to apply the Top K Elements pattern with a min heap to repeatedly find and multiply the minimum element in an array k times. This lesson guides you through updating the array efficiently by tracking minimum values and preserving the order of first occurrences, helping you grasp heap operations and complexity tradeoffs.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given an integer array nums, an integer k, and an integer multiplier:

  • Perform k operations on nums.

  • In each operation:

    • Find the minimum element x in nums (if there are multiple occurrences of the minimum value, choose the first occurrence).

    • Replace x with x * multiplier.

Return the final state of nums after all k operations.

Constraints:

  • 1<=1 <= nums.length <=100<= 100 ...
