Solution: Maximal Score After Applying K Operations

Understand how to apply k operations on an integer array to maximize total score using a max heap. Learn the process of selecting the largest elements, adding to the score, reducing them, and reinserting to optimize the result. This lesson teaches algorithm efficiency with time complexity O(k log n) and space complexity O(n).

Statement

You are given a 0-indexed array of integer nums and an integer k. Your task is to maximize a score through a series of operations. Initially, your score is set to 00.

In each operation:

  1. Select an index i (where 00 ≤ ...
