Solution: Maximum Points After Enemy Battles
Explore the greedy approach to maximize points by strategically defeating enemies using minimal energy and absorbing others for energy boost. Understand sorting for optimal selection and efficiently calculate points for given energy constraints.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an integer array enemyEnergies where each element represents the energy value of an enemy, and an integer currentEnergy representing your initial energy.
You start with
Operation 1 — Choose an unmarked enemy i such that currentEnergy >= enemyEnergies[i]:
Your points increase by
. Your energy decreases:
currentEnergy = currentEnergy - enemyEnergies[i].
Operation 2 — If you have at least i:
Your energy increases:
currentEnergy = currentEnergy + enemyEnergies[i].Enemy
ibecomes marked.
Return the maximum number of points you can achieve by performing these operations optimally.
