Solution: Final Array State After K Multiplication Operations I

Explore a method to perform k multiplication operations on an array by repeatedly identifying and updating the minimum element. Understand how leveraging a min heap optimizes the search and update process, respecting the first occurrence rule and improving time efficiency to handle multiple operations effectively.

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

  • 1<=1 <= nums[i] ...
