Leetcode Problem 2528. Maximize the Minimum Powered City

2528. Maximize the Minimum Powered City

Leetcode Solutions

Binary Search to Maximize the Minimum Power of a City

  1. Initialize the low and high pointers for binary search. Low is the minimum power currently possible, and high is the sum of all power stations plus k.
  2. Perform binary search: a. Calculate the mid value between low and high. b. Check if it's possible to achieve at least mid power for all cities with the given k power stations. c. If it's possible, set low to mid + 1; otherwise, set high to mid - 1.
  3. The check function will simulate the addition of power stations. It will iterate over the cities and add power stations where the current power is less than mid.
  4. If at any point we need to add more than k power stations, return false.
  5. If we successfully iterate over all cities without exceeding k power stations, return true.
  6. The last successful mid value is the maximum possible minimum power of a city.
