Leetcode 3362. Zero Array Transformation III | Greedy + Heap Solution Explained! | Leetcode 3362

Показать описание

In this video, we solve Leetcode 3362: Zero Array Transformation III (also known as maxRemoval), a challenging greedy problem involving priority queues (heaps).

🧠 Problem Summary:
You are given an array of positive integers. At each index i, you can apply operations defined by queries [start, end]. Each operation can decrease nums[i] by 1 if i is in the range. Determine the maximum number of queries that can be unused while still reducing the array to all zeros.

🔥 Key Concepts Covered:
Greedy strategy to minimize used queries
Difference array for efficient range tracking
Using max heap (priority queue) to always choose optimal queries
Python implementation with detailed explanation

🛠 Tools Used: Python 3, Heapq, Greedy Algorithm
