2233. Maximum Product After K Increments
Description
You are given an array of non-negative integers nums and an integer k. In one operation, you may choose any element from nums and increment it by 1.
Return the maximum product of nums after at most k operations. Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo 109 + 7. Note that you should maximize the product before taking the modulo.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [0,4], k = 5 Output: 20 Explanation: Increment the first number 5 times. Now nums = [5, 4], with a product of 5 * 4 = 20. It can be shown that 20 is maximum product possible, so we return 20. Note that there may be other ways to increment nums to have the maximum product.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [6,3,3,2], k = 2 Output: 216 Explanation: Increment the second number 1 time and increment the fourth number 1 time. Now nums = [6, 4, 3, 3], with a product of 6 * 4 * 3 * 3 = 216. It can be shown that 216 is maximum product possible, so we return 216. Note that there may be other ways to increment nums to have the maximum product.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length, k <= 1050 <= nums[i] <= 106
Solutions
Solution 1: Greedy + Priority Queue (Min-Heap)
According to the problem description, to maximize the product, we need to increase the smaller numbers as much as possible. Therefore, we can use a min-heap to maintain the array \(\textit{nums}\). Each time, we take the smallest number from the min-heap, increase it by \(1\), and then put it back into the min-heap. After repeating this process \(k\) times, we multiply all the numbers currently in the min-heap to get the answer.
The time complexity is \(O(k \times \log n)\), and the space complexity is \(O(n)\). Here, \(n\) is the length of the array \(\textit{nums}\).
