Leetcode Solutions

Key approach of the solution

  1. Initialize maxDamage to 0 to keep track of the maximum damage from any level.
  2. Initialize totalDamage to 0 to keep track of the sum of all damages.
  3. Iterate through each damage value d in the damage array.
    • Update totalDamage by adding d to it.
    • Update maxDamage to be the maximum of maxDamage and d.
  4. Calculate the damage mitigated by the armor as min(armor, maxDamage).
  5. Subtract the mitigated damage from totalDamage to get the net damage.
  6. Add 1 to the net damage to get the minimum health required to start the game.
  7. Return the minimum health.
