Solution: Construct Target Array With Multiple Sums

Explore an efficient method to construct a target array from an initial array of ones by using a max heap and modulo operations. Understand how working backward reduces complexity and ensures scalability in solving this dynamic problem. This lesson helps you master heap-based techniques and reverse problem-solving strategies common in coding interviews.

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

  • 11 \leq n 1000\leq 1000 ...
