Solution: The Number of the Smallest Unoccupied Chair
Explore how to assign chairs dynamically at a party using two min heaps for efficient processing of arrivals and departures. Understand how sorting and priority queues optimize the retrieval of the smallest available chair, enabling you to solve this problem with an O(n log n) time complexity. This lesson develops your ability to implement heap-based solutions for real-time resource management issues in coding interviews.
