Koko Eating Bananas

Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Koko Eating Bananas' problem.

問題提起

簡単

Koko loves to eat bananas. There are n piles of bananas, the ith pile has piles[i] bananas. The guards have gone and will come back in h hours.

Koko can decide her bananas-per-hour eating speed of k. Each hour, she chooses some pile of bananas and eats k bananas from that pile. If the pile has less than k bananas, she eats all of them instead and will not eat any more bananas during this hour.

Koko likes to eat slowly but still wants to finish eating all the bananas before the guards return.

Return the minimum integer k such that she can eat all the bananas within h hours.

Write a function minEatingSpeed(piles: List[int], h: int) -> int.

制約
  • 1 <= len(piles) <= 10^4
  • len(piles) <= h <= 10^9
  • 1 <= piles[i] <= 10^9

Example 1
Input
piles = [3, 6, 7, 11], h = 8
Output
4
Explanation

At speed 4: pile 3 takes 1 hour, pile 6 takes 2 hours, pile 7 takes 2 hours, pile 11 takes 3 hours. Total = 8 hours.

Example 2
Input
piles = [30, 11, 23, 4, 20], h = 5
Output
30
Explanation

At speed 30: each pile takes 1 hour. Total = 5 hours.

Example 3
Input
piles = [30, 11, 23, 4, 20], h = 6
Output
23
Explanation

At speed 23: piles take 2+1+1+1+1 = 6 hours.

Need a Hint?
Consider using Binary Search-specific data structures like sets or heaps.
Edge Cases to Watch
  • Empty input structures
  • Single element inputs
  • Large numerical bounds
