1705. Maximum Number of Eaten Apples

Leetcode Solutions

Min Heap Approach

  1. Initialize a min-heap to store apples along with their expiration dates.
  2. Initialize a variable to count the number of apples eaten.
  3. Iterate over each day, starting from day 0.
  4. For each day, add the apples grown on that day to the heap with their expiration date.
  5. Remove any apples from the heap that have expired (expiration date is less than or equal to the current day).
  6. If the heap is not empty, eat one apple (remove it from the heap) and increment the count of apples eaten.
  7. Continue the process for all days when apples are grown, and beyond, until there are no more apples to eat.
  8. Return the count of apples eaten.
