Problem: Final Array State After K Multiplication Operations I

Medium
30 min
Explore how to perform k multiplication operations on the minimum elements of an array and return the final state. Learn to identify and update the minimum element, apply the multiplier correctly, and understand the constraints and logic behind the top k elements pattern. This lesson builds skills in efficient selection techniques relevant to coding interviews.

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

  • 1<=1 <= nums[i] <=100<= 100

  • 1<=1 <= k <=10<= 10

  • 1<=1 <= multiplier <=5<= 5
