Painter's Partition Problem Statement
Given an array/list representing boards, where each element denotes the length of a board, and a number ‘K’ of available painters, determine the minimum time required to paint all boards. Each unit length of the board requires 1 unit of time. A painter can only paint continuous sections of boards.
Example:
Input:
ARR = {2, 1, 5, 6, 2, 3}
K = 3
Output:
7
Explanation:
Painters can paint the boards in such a way that minimizes the maximum time any painter spends painting: one potential distribution is {2, 1, 5}, {6}, {2, 3}, where the maximum time is 7.
Constraints:
- 1 <= T <= 5
- 1 <= N <= 104
- 1 <= K <= N
- 1 <= ARR[i] <= 105
Where:
T
is the number of test cases.N
is the length of the given array/list (boards).K
is the number of painters available.ARR[i]
denotes the i-th element in the array/list.
Time Limit: 1 sec.
Note:
You do not need to print anything; it is already managed. Just implement the function and return the answer.
