Solution: K Maximum Sum Combinations From Two Arrays

Explore how to identify the k maximum sum combinations from two arrays by combining elements and using a max heap for efficient retrieval. Learn to apply sorting and heap operations to solve the problem without exhaustive checking, optimizing time and space complexity. This lesson teaches a practical approach to handle top K element problems in coding interviews.

Statement

You are given two integer arrays, arr1 and arr2, each of size nn. You are also given an integer k. Your task is to return the k largest sum combinations that can be formed by adding one element from arr1 and one element from arr2, for all possible pairs (arr1[i] + arr2[j]), where 0i,j<n0 ≤ i, j < n.

Note: The output should be sorted in non-increasing order.

Constraints:

  • 1n10001 ≤ n ≤ 1000

  • 11\leq arr1[i], arr2[i] 103\leq 10^3

  • ...
