Solution: Longest Subsequence With Limited Sum

Explore how to determine the maximum subsequence size within sum limits by sorting an array, creating prefix sums, and applying binary search. Understand how to efficiently solve queries related to sum-constrained subsequences with optimized time complexity.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given an integer array, nums, of length n, and an integer array, queries, of length m.

For each element in queries, determine the maximum number of elements that can be selected from nums to form a subsequenceA subsequence is formed by removing zero or more elements from the array without changing the order of the remaining elements. such that the sum of the selected elements is less than or equal to the query value.

Return an array answer of length m, where answer[i] represents the size of the largest subsequence of nums whose sum is less than or equal to queries[i].

Constraints

  • n ==== nums.length

  • m ==== queries.length

  • ...
