Solution: Boats to Save People
Explore how to apply a greedy technique to solve the problem of evacuating people with minimum boats by pairing the lightest and heaviest passengers without exceeding weight limits. Understand the optimized approach, implement pointers for efficiency, and analyze time and space complexity to prepare for technical coding interviews.
Statement
A big ship with numerous passengers is sinking, and there is a need to evacuate these people with the minimum number of life-saving boats. Each boat can carry, at most, two persons however, the weight of the people cannot exceed the carrying weight limit of the boat.
We are given an array, people, where people[i] is the weight of the ...
