Solution: Least Number of Unique Integers after K Removals

Understand how to minimize the number of unique integers remaining after removing exactly k elements from an array. Learn to use frequency counts and a min heap to remove less frequent numbers first, efficiently solving this problem with optimal time and space complexity.

Statement

You are given an integer array, arr, and an integer, k. Your task is to remove exactly k elements from the array so that the number of distinct integers remaining in the array is minimized. Determine the minimum possible count of unique integers after the removals.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq arr.length 103\leq 10^3

  • 11 \leq arr[i] 105\leq 10^5 ...
