Solution: Maximum Performance of a Team
Explore how to form a team of up to k engineers by maximizing the product of their total speed and minimum efficiency. This lesson teaches you the greedy strategy of sorting engineers by efficiency and using a min-heap to maintain top speeds, helping you understand how to solve optimization problems involving performance and constraints.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given two integers, n and k, and two integer arrays, speed and efficiency, both of length n. There are n engineers numbered from 1 to n. The value speed[i] represents the speed of the i-th engineer, and efficiency[i] represents their efficiency.
To form a team with the maximum performance, you need to select at most k different engineers from the n engineers.
The performance of a team is calculated as follows:
The sum of the selected engineers’ speeds
Return the maximum performance of the team. As the result can be a very large number, return it modulo
