Least Number of Unique Integers after K Removals

Explore how to determine the smallest number of unique integers remaining after removing exactly k elements from an integer array. Understand constraints and apply heap-based strategies from the Top K Elements chapter to solve this pattern efficiently.

Statement

You are given an integer array, arr, and an integer, k. Your task is to remove exactly k elements from the array so that the number of distinct integers remaining in the array is minimized. Determine the minimum possible count of unique integers after the removals.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq arr.length  ...
