2558. Take Gifts From the Richest Pile
Easy
10 Points
Array
Heap (Priority Queue)
Simulation
You are given an integer array gifts denoting the number of gifts in various piles. Every second, you do the following:
Return the number of gifts remaining after k seconds.
Examples
Example 1
Input: gifts = [25,64,9,4,100], k = 4
Output: 29
Explanation:
The gifts are taken in the following way:
- In the first second, the last pile is chosen and 10 gifts are left behind.
- Then the second pile is chosen and 8 gifts are left behind.
- After that the first pile is chosen and 5 gifts are left behind.
- Finally, the last pile is chosen again and 3 gifts are left behind.
The final remaining gifts are [5,8,9,4,3], so the total number of gifts remaining is 29.
Example 2
Input: gifts = [1,1,1,1], k = 4
Output: 4
Explanation:
In this case, regardless which pile you choose, you have to leave behind 1 gift in each pile.
That is, you can't take any pile with you.
So, the total gifts remaining are 4.
Constraints
1 <= gifts.length <= 103
1 <= gifts[i] <= 109
1 <= k <= 103
