857. Minimum Cost to Hire K Workers
Hard
There are n
workers. You are given two integer arrays quality
and wage where quality[i]
is the quality of the ith
worker and wage[i]
is the minimum wage expectation for the ith
worker.
We want to hire exactly k
workers to form a paid group. To hire a group of k
workers, we must pay them according to the following rules:
- Every worker in the paid group must be paid at least their minimum wage expectation.
- In the group, each worker's pay must be directly proportional to their quality. This means if a worker’s quality is double that of another worker in the group, then they must be paid twice as much as the other worker.
Given the integer k
, return the least amount of money needed to form a paid group satisfying the above conditions. Answers within 10-5
of the actual answer will be accepted.
Example 1:
- Input: quality = [10,20,5], wage = [70,50,30], k = 2
- Output: 105.00000
- Explanation: We pay 70 to 0th worker and 35 to 2nd worker.
Example 2:
- Input: quality = [3,1,10,10,1], wage = [4,8,2,2,7], k = 3
- Output: 30.66667
- Explanation: We pay 4 to 0th worker, 13.33333 to 2nd and 3rd workers separately.
Example 3:
- Input: quality = [4,4,4,5], wage = [13,12,13,12], k = 2
- Output: 26.00000
Constraints:
n == quality.length == wage.length
1 <= k <= n <= 104
1 <= quality[i], wage[i] <= 104
Solution:
class Solution {
/**
* @param Integer[] $quality
* @param Integer[] $wage
* @param Integer $k
* @return Float
*/
function mincostToHireWorkers($quality, $wage, $k) {
$ans = PHP_INT_MAX;
$qualitySum = 0;
$workers = array();
$maxHeap = new SplMaxHeap();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($quality); ++$i) {
$workers[$i] = array((double) $wage[$i] / $quality[$i], $quality[$i]);
}
usort($workers, function($a, $b) {
return $a[0] <=> $b[0];
});
foreach ($workers as $worker) {
$wagePerQuality = $worker[0];
$q = $worker[1];
$maxHeap->insert($q);
$qualitySum += $q;
if ($maxHeap->count() > $k) {
$qualitySum -= $maxHeap->extract();
}
if ($maxHeap->count() == $k) {
$ans = min($ans, $qualitySum * $wagePerQuality);
}
}
return $ans;
}
}
