Capacity To Ship Packages Within D Days: Binary Search Answer
Targeted in FAANG & Tech OA:GoogleAmazonSwiggy
Real-World Engineering Context
Directly powers logistics batch truck dispatching at Amazon and Delhivery to minimize fleet fuel capacity overhead.
A conveyor belt has packages that must be shipped from one port to another within `days` days.
The `i`th package on the conveyor belt has a weight of `weights[i]`. Each day, we load the ship with packages on the conveyor belt (in the order given by `weights`). We may not load more weight than the maximum weight capacity of the ship.
Return the least weight capacity of the ship that will result in all the packages on the conveyor belt being shipped within `days` days.
