2202. Maximize the Topmost Element After K Moves

Leetcode Solutions

Maximize Topmost Element with Conditional Logic

  1. Check if k is 0, if so, return nums[0].
  2. Check if k is 1, if so, return nums[1] if nums length is greater than 1, otherwise return -1.
  3. Check if the length of nums is 1, if so, return nums[0] if k is even, otherwise return -1.
  4. Check if k is greater than the length of nums, if so, return the maximum element in nums unless the array has only one element and k is odd.
  5. Check if k is equal to the length of nums, if so, return the maximum element among the first k-1 elements.
  6. If k is less than the length of nums, find the maximum among the first k-1 elements and compare it with the k-th element, returning the greater of the two.
