Problem
Given an array of integers arr
and an integer k
. Find the least number of unique integers after removing exactly k
elements.
Example 1:
Input: arr = [5,5,4], k = 1 Output: 1 Explanation: Remove the single 4, only 5 is left.Example 2:
Input: arr = [4,3,1,1,3,3,2], k = 3 Output: 2 Explanation: Remove 4, 2 and either one of the two 1s or three 3s. 1 and 3 will be left.
Constraints:
1 <= arr.length <= 10^5
1 <= arr[i] <= 10^9
0 <= k <= arr.length
