Problem Overview

3264. Final Array State After K Multiplication Operations I

Difficulty: Easy
Topics: Arrays


Problem Description

You are given an integer array nums, an integer k, and an integer multiplier.

You need to perform k operations on nums. In each operation:

  1. Find the minimum value x in nums. If there are multiple occurrences of the minimum value, select the one that appears first.
  2. Replace the selected minimum value x with x * multiplier.

Return an integer array denoting the final state of nums after performing all k operations.


Examples

Example 1

Input:
nums = [2,1,3,5,6], k = 5, multiplier = 2

Output:
[8,4,6,5,6]

Explanation:

After 3[4, 4, 3, 5, 6]
After 4[4, 4, 6, 5, 6]
After 5[8, 4, 6, 5, 6]

Example 2

Input:
nums = [1,2], k = 3, multiplier = 4

Output:
[16,8]

Explanation:

OperationResult
After 1[4, 2]
After 2[4, 8]
After 3[16, 8]

🧠 Logic Puzzle
Think & Arrange, Don't Just Copy-Paste

Drag and arrange the algorithm steps in the correct execution order instead of spending time typing code letter by letter.

Arrange the Algorithm Correctly 🧩

The algorithm is divided into three logical parts. Carefully rearrange each section in the correct order to form a complete and valid solution.

Understand Below Algorithm

Don't Know Current Algorithm ?  

Green text means the instruction is placed in the correct position.

Red text means the instruction is in the wrong position.

Block Colors

Instructions with the same background color indicate particular blocks start and end.

A tick mark means the instruction is correct and locked.

🔒 Locked steps cannot be moved. Only unlocked steps are draggable.

🔊 Enable sound for swap feedback and completion effects.
