Solution: Least Number of Unique Integers after K Removals

Understand how to minimize the count of unique integers after removing exactly k elements from an array by using a frequency map and min heap. This lesson guides you through removing the least frequent integers first to achieve the optimal result, with a clear explanation of the algorithm and its time and space complexity.

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 103\leq 10^3

  • 11 \leq arr[i] 105\leq 10^5 ...
