2818. Apply Operations to Maximize Score | Leetcode Daily - Python

Dive deep into LeetCode problem 3093: Apply Operations to Maximize Score! This video breaks down the challenge of achieving the highest possible score by multiplying elements chosen from subarrays based on their prime scores. We explore why brute-force checking all subarrays is too slow and unveil a much more efficient approach. Learn how to calculate prime scores effectively using a sieve-like method. Discover the power of monotonic stacks to determine the 'influence' of each number how many subarrays would select it based on the problem's rules. We then apply a greedy strategy, sorting the numbers by value and using the largest ones first, combined with modular exponentiation to handle potentially huge scores. Follow along with the detailed Python code walkthrough and complexity analysis.
