*In this problem we need to maximize the number of councils we need to search for that maximum value of x that satifies the given condition.
*In the worst case the total councils may be 0 and in the best case total councils may be (sum of students/k), so we need to search the maximum value between these two numbers.
*the trend its shows will be T,T,T,F,F,F.. we need to find the last true. so I applied binary search and it got accepted.
//sorry for my bad english
how are you checking if x councils are possible or not
To check if it is possible to create x councils, each consists of k students. lets take all possible students from each group I can take maximum of x students at the end if I get >= (x*k) students then x councils can be created.
bool is(int x,vector &arr,int k) { int sum=0; //to track of maximum students I can take to create x councils
for(int i=0;i<arr.size();i++) { sum+=min(x,arr[i]);//I can take maximum of x students from each group }
if(sum>=(x*k)) return true;
else return false; }
thank you bro
thanks bro
You can note that if you can form K > 1 councils, then you can form K — 1. So binary search will help.
possible(m) tell us if is possible to form at least m councils.
To construct possible(m) here is a hint:
sort groups by size, then find out if you can apply a greedy algorithm.
