Maximum Value at a Given Index in a Bounded Array

Explore how to construct an array with specific length, max sum, and element constraints to maximize the value at a given index. Learn to apply modified binary search to efficiently solve problems where consecutive elements differ by at most one and the total sum stays within limits.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given three positive integers, n, index, and maxSum, output the nums[index] by constructing an array of nums with the length of n, which satisfies the following conditions:

  • The length of the array nums is equal to n.

  • Each element nums[i] is a positive integer, where 11≤\leq i ...
