Solution: Final Array State After K Multiplication Operations I

Understand how to repeatedly identify and update the minimum element in an array using the Top K elements pattern with a min heap. This lesson teaches how to perform k multiplication operations on the smallest element while maintaining efficient access, ensuring you can find the array's final state with optimized time complexity.

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 ...
