Problem: Maximum Number of Integers to Choose from a Range I

Medium
30 min
Explore how to determine the maximum count of integers you can select from a given range without including banned numbers and while keeping the total sum under a limit. This lesson helps you apply sorting, binary search, and two-pointer methods to solve constrained selection problems commonly found in coding interviews.

Statement

Given an integer array banned and two integers n and max_sum, determine the maximum number of integers you can choose while adhering to the following rules:

  1. The selected integers must fall within the range [1,n][1, n].

  2. Each integer can be chosen at most once.

  3. No selected integer can be present in the banned array.

  4. The sum of the selected integers must not exceed max_sum.

Your goal is to return the maximum count of integers that can be chosen while satisfying all the above constraints.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq banned.length 103\leq 10^3

  • 11 \leq banned[i], n 103\leq 10^3

  • 11 \leq max_sum 106\leq 10^6
