1996. The Number of Weak Characters in the Game

Leetcode Solutions

Sorting and Iteration

  1. Sort the properties array in ascending order of attack values. In case of a tie, sort by descending order of defense values.
  2. Initialize maxDefense to 0, which will keep track of the maximum defense value seen so far.
  3. Initialize weakCharacters to 0, which will count the number of weak characters.
  4. Iterate over the sorted properties array from right to left (from strongest to weakest attack): a. If the current character's defense is less than maxDefense, increment weakCharacters. b. Update maxDefense if the current character's defense is greater than maxDefense.
  5. Return the value of weakCharacters.
