AMAZON Coding Question – Solved

5 Live
Amazon operates numerous warehouses, with each warehouse holding inventory[i] units of a particular product. You and your co-worker are responsible for dispatching these items to fulfill customer orders, following a specific process: 1. When dispatching from warehouse i, you begin by reducing the inventory of the i-th warehouse by dispatch1 units. 2. After your dispatch, your co-worker reduces the inventory by dispatch2 units. 3. This process repeats until the inventory of the i-th warehouse reaches zero or becomes negative (i.e., inventory[i] ≀ 0). 4. For every warehouse that is emptied during your dispatch, you and your co-worker collectively earn 1 credit. Your co-worker has the option to skip their turn, but they can only do this a limited number of times, defined by `skips`. Your task is to determine the best strategy to maximize the total credits that both you and your co-worker can earn together. Example: n = 6 inventory = [10, 6, 12, 8, 15, 1] dispatch1 = 2 dispatch2 = 3 skips = 3 An optimal dispatch strategy is as follows: 1. Your co-worker skips 2 turns, allowing you to empty the inventory of the 1st warehouse (Inventory: 10 β†’ 8 β†’ 5 β†’ 3 β†’ 1 β†’ -1). 2. Your co-worker doesn't skip any turns, and you empty the inventory of the 2nd warehouse (Inventory: 6 β†’ 4 β†’ 1 β†’ -1). 3. Your co-worker doesn't skip any turns, and you empty the inventory of the 3rd warehouse (Inventory: 12 β†’ 10 β†’ 7 β†’ 5 β†’ 2 β†’ 0). 4. Your co-worker skips 1 turn, and you drain the inventory of the 4th warehouse (Inventory: 8 β†’ 6 β†’ 3 β†’ 1 β†’ -1). 5. Your co-worker doesn't skip any turns, and they empty the inventory of the 5th warehouse (Inventory: 15 β†’ 13 β†’ 10 β†’ 8 β†’ 5 β†’ 3 β†’ 0). 6. Your co-worker doesn't skip any turns, and you empty the inventory of the 6th warehouse (Inventory: 1 β†’ -1). As a result, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th warehouses were completely dispatched by you, and the two of you collectively earned 5 credits, which is the maximum possible in this scenario. Hence, the answer is 5. Function Description: Complete the function `getMaximumCredits` in the editor below. `getMaximumCredits` has the following parameters: - int inventory[n]: An array of integers denoting the inventory level of each warehouse. - int dispatch1: An integer indicating your dispatch level per turn. - int dispatch2: An integer indicating your co-worker's dispatch level per turn. - int skips: An integer specifying the maximum number of times your co-worker can skip their turn. Return: - int: the maximum number of credits both of you can achieve collectively. Constraints: - 1 ≀ n ≀ 10^5 - 1 ≀ inventory[i] ≀ 10^9 - 1 ≀ dispatch1, dispatch2 ≀ 10^9 - 0 ≀ skips ≀ n
