Solution: Final Array State After K Multiplication Operations I

Explore how to solve the problem of repeated multiplication on the smallest element in an array by applying the Top K Elements pattern. Learn to use a min heap to efficiently track and update the minimum element multiple times and understand the time and space complexity of this solution.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given an integer array nums, an integer k, and an integer multiplier:

  • Perform k operations on nums.

  • In each operation:

    • Find the minimum element x in nums (if there are multiple occurrences of the minimum value, choose the first occurrence).

    • Replace x with x * multiplier.

Return the final state of nums after all k operations.

Constraints:

  • 1<=1 <= nums.length <=100<= 100 ...
