Problem: Task Scheduler
Understand how to use max heaps and cooldown queues to schedule CPU tasks efficiently with cooldown constraints. Learn step-by-step how to minimize CPU intervals while respecting task cooldowns, implementing a greedy approach in Python.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an array, tasks, representing CPU tasks, where each task is labeled with an uppercase English letter from A to Z. You are also given a non-negative integer n representing the cooldown period between two identical tasks.
In each CPU interval, you may either complete exactly one task or remain idle. Tasks may be completed in any order; however, any two tasks with the same label must be separated by at least n intervals.
Return the minimum number of CPU intervals required to complete all given tasks.
Note: The cooldown constraint applies only between tasks sharing the same label. Different tasks can be scheduled in consecutive intervals without restriction.
