How to maximize rewards with exactly k tasks
Task Assignment for Maximum Rewards
You are tasked with assigning n independent tasks to two interns under specific conditions to maximize total reward points.
Problem Description
- Each task must be completed by exactly one intern.
- For each task
i:- If Intern 1 completes task
i, you earnreward1[i]points. - If Intern 2 completes task
i, you earnreward2[i]points.
- If Intern 1 completes task
- Intern 1 must be assigned exactly
ktasks. - Intern 2 will be assigned the remaining
n - ktasks. - Tasks can be assigned in any order; there are no contiguity requirements.
Your goal is to determine the maximum total points achievable given these constraints.
Input
reward1: An integer array of lengthn, wherereward1[i]is the reward if Intern 1 does taski.reward2: An integer array of lengthn, wherereward2[i]is the reward if Intern 2 does taski.k: An integer representing the exact number of tasks Intern 1 must be assigned. It is guaranteed that0 ≤ k ≤ n.
Output
- An integer representing the maximum possible total reward points.
Constraints and Efficiency
Design an algorithm that operates efficiently for large values of n, specifically up to 10^5.
