Binary Search and Greedy Approach

  1. Initialize the search space with left as the minimum sweetness of any chunk and right as the total sweetness divided by k + 1.
  2. Perform binary search: a. Calculate the middle value mid as (left + right + 1) / 2. b. Use a greedy approach to check if it's possible to cut the bar into k + 1 pieces where each piece has at least mid sweetness. c. If it's possible, update left to mid. Otherwise, update right to mid - 1.
  3. Repeat step 2 until left equals right, which will be the maximum possible minimum sweetness value.
  4. Return left as the final answer.
