Grokking the Coding Interview Patterns in Go

Solution: High Five

Explore how to use hash maps and sorting to calculate the top five average scores for each student. This lesson walks through implementing a solution that organizes scores by student ID, finds the highest five scores, and computes averages efficiently, preparing you for coding interview questions involving hash maps.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given a list of scores for multiple students, represented as items, where items[i]=[IDi,scorei]items[i] = [ID_i, score_i] indicates the ID of a student (IDi)(ID_i) and their score (scorei)(score_i). Your task is to compute the top five average scores for each student.

Return the result as an array of pairs, result, where result[j]=[IDj,topFiveAveragej]result[j] = [ID_j, topFiveAverage_j] ...
