Problem: Construct Target Array With Multiple Sums

Medium
30 min
Explore how to solve the problem of constructing a target array from an initial array of ones by repeatedly setting elements to the sum of current elements. Understand and apply heap data structures to efficiently verify if the construction is possible, enhancing your problem-solving skills for dynamic array operations common in coding interviews.

Statement

You are given an array target of n integers.

Starting from an array arr of size n where every element is 1, you may perform the following operation any number of times:

  • Let x be the sum of all current elements in arr.

  • Pick an index i and set arr[i] = x.

Your task is to return True if it’s possible to construct target from arr, otherwise return False.

Constraints:

  • n == target.length

  • 11 \leq n 1000\leq 1000

  • 11 \leq target[i] 105\leq 10^5
