Solution: Split Array Largest Sum

Understand how to apply modified binary search to split an array into k subarrays, minimizing the largest sum among them. Learn the approach that guesses and validates sums to find the optimal split efficiently, reducing complexity compared to brute force. This lesson helps you implement and analyze time and space tradeoffs in solving this pattern-based coding problem.

Statement

Given an integer list nums and an integer k, split nums into k non-empty subarrays such that the largest sum among these subarrays is minimized. The task is to find the minimized largest sum by choosing the split such that the largest sum of every split of subarrays is the minimum among the sum of other splits.

Constraints:

  • 11\leq nums.length 103\leq 10^3

  • 00\leq ...
