Easy • View on LeetCode • View on GitHub

Problem Description

You have some apples and a basket that can carry up to 5000 units of weight.

Given an integer array weight where weight[i] is the weight of the ith apple, return the maximum number of apples you can put in the basket.

Solution

/**
 * @param {number[]} weight
 * @return {number}
 */
var maxNumberOfApples = function(weight) {
  weight.sort((a, b) => a - b);

  let totalWeight = 0;
  let result = 0;

  for (const appleWeight of weight) {
    if (totalWeight + appleWeight <= 5000) {
      totalWeight += appleWeight;
      result++;
    } else {
      break;
    }
  }

  return result;
};
