Task Scheduler
Last updated
What is Task Scheduler?
Given a list of tasks and a cooldown n, find the minimum time needed to finish all tasks, with the constraint that the same task must wait n intervals between executions. A greedy approach with a max-heap always schedules the most frequent remaining task, filling cooldown gaps with other tasks or idle time. This problem teaches you to combine a heap with a greedy scheduling strategy.
