Solution: Maximum Points After Enemy Battles
Understand how to maximize points by applying greedy techniques to manage your energy and defeat enemies optimally. This lesson guides you through sorting strategies and energy management to solve the problem efficiently, enhancing your problem-solving skills for coding interviews.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an integer array enemyEnergies where each element represents the energy value of an enemy, and an integer currentEnergy representing your initial energy.
You start with
Operation 1 — Choose an unmarked enemy i such that currentEnergy >= enemyEnergies[i]:
Your points increase by
. Your energy decreases:
currentEnergy = currentEnergy - enemyEnergies[i].
Operation 2 — If you have at least i:
Your energy increases:
currentEnergy = currentEnergy + enemyEnergies[i].Enemy
ibecomes marked.
Return the maximum number of points you can achieve by performing these operations optimally.
