SDE Sheet - Coin Piles

Description
Discussion

This video is part of the Greedy section under GFG SDE Sheet.

There are N piles of coins each containing  Ai (1<=i<=N) coins. Find the minimum number of coins to be removed such that the absolute difference of coins in any two piles is at most K.
Note: You can also remove a pile by removing all the coins of that pile.


Example 1:

Input: N = 4, K = 0 arr[] = {2, 2, 2, 2} Output: 0 Explanation: For any two piles the difference in the number of coins is <=0. So no need to remove any coins.
