Round 1
Questions: Given a list of array with positive numbers and capacity c. Give the minimum number of boxes that needed to be unloaded so that below condition is satisfied: max(array) <= capacity * min(array)
For example, array = [1,4,3,2] and capacity = 2. The minimum number of boxes to be unloaded = 1. The numbers in the array could contain duplicates.
Follow-up Question
I could not think of a greedy approach. Could someone help me in finding one? I could only think of a recursive and memoization solution because the condition depends on both min and max values of arrays. So, I am creating two subproblems:
- removing the minimum item
- removing the maximum item and continuing the recursion until the condition is satisfied.
Is there a better approach?
