You are given an array tasks where tasks[i] = [actuali, minimumi]:
For example, if the task is [10, 12] and your current energy is 11, you cannot start this task. However, if your current energy is 13, you can complete this task, and your energy will be 3 after finishing it.
You can finish the tasks in any order you like.
Return the minimum initial amount of energy you will need to finish all the tasks.
Examples
Example 1
Input: tasks = [[1,2],[2,4],[4,8]]
Output: 8
Explanation:
Starting with 8 energy, we finish the tasks in the following order:
- 3rd task. Now energy = 8 - 4 = 4.
- 2nd task. Now energy = 4 - 2 = 2.
- 1st task. Now energy = 2 - 1 = 1.
Notice that even though we have leftover energy, starting with 7 energy does not work because we cannot do the 3rd task.
Example 2
Input: tasks = [[1,3],[2,4],[10,11],[10,12],[8,9]]
Output: 32
Explanation:
Starting with 32 energy, we finish the tasks in the following order:
- 1st task. Now energy = 32 - 1 = 31.
- 2nd task. Now energy = 31 - 2 = 29.
- 3rd task. Now energy = 29 - 10 = 19.
- 4th task. Now energy = 19 - 10 = 9.
- 5th task. Now energy = 9 - 8 = 1.
Example 3
Input: tasks = [[1,7],[2,8],[3,9],[4,10],[5,11],[6,12]]
Output: 27
Explanation:
Starting with 27 energy, we finish the tasks in the following order:
- 5th task. Now energy = 27 - 5 = 22.
- 2nd task. Now energy = 22 - 2 = 20.
- 3rd task. Now energy = 20 - 3 = 17.
- 1st task. Now energy = 17 - 1 = 16.
- 4th task. Now energy = 16 - 4 = 12.
- 6th task. Now energy = 12 - 6 = 6.
