Question 1
Problem Statement: Amazon EC2 VM Rental Revenue
In Amazon EC2, there are n types of virtual machines (VMs), each with a specific number of instances available (represented by the array vmStock). When a customer rents a VM, the price they pay is calculated based on the current availability across all VM types.
Revenue Calculation
For every rental, the fee is the sum of:
1. The highest availability currently existing among all VM types.
2. The lowest non-zero availability currently existing among all VM types.
Rental Rules
• There are m customers arriving one after another.
• A customer always rents from the VM type that currently has the highest availability.
• After a rental occurs, the availability of that specific VM type decreases by 1.
Goal
Calculate the total revenue earned after all m customer requests have been served.
Example
Input:
• n = 3
• vmStock = [1, 2, 4]
• m = 4
