Solution: Put Marbles in Bags

Explore how to distribute marbles into bags to maximize and minimize scoring by making cuts between marbles. Understand how to use sorting of pairwise sums to identify best splits efficiently. This lesson helps you apply the sort and search pattern to solve partitioning problems with clear time and space complexity analysis.

Statement

You are given k bags and a 0-indexed integer array, weights, where weights[i] represents the weight of the ithi^{th} marble.

Your task is to divide the marbles into the k bags according to the following rules:

  1. No bag can be empty.

  2. If the ...
