#30daychallenge (12) | Last Stone Weight

We have a collection of stones, each stone has a positive integer weight.
Each turn, we choose the two heaviest stones and smash them together.  Suppose the stones have weights x and y with x <= y.  The result of this smash is:
  • If x == y, both stones are totally destroyed;
  • If x != y, the stone of weight x is totally destroyed, and the stone of weight y has new weight y-x.
At the end, there is at most 1 stone left.  Return the weight of this stone (or 0 if there are no stones left.)
Input: [2,7,4,1,8,1]
Output: 1
Explanation: 
We combine 7 and 8 to get 1 so the array converts to [2,4,1,1,1] then,
we combine 2 and 4 to get 2 so the array converts to [2,1,1,1] then,
we combine 2 and 1 to get 1 so the array converts to [1,1,1] then,
we combine 1 and 1 to get 0 so the array converts to [1] then that's the value of last stone.
Bài này dùng tôi Priority Queue, lấy ra 2 stone có trọng lượng cao nhất. Nếu chúng khác nhau thì thêm vào Queue stone y-x. Bài toán dừng lại khi pq.Size() = 1 hoặc pq.Size() = 0 (khi stone bị phá hủy hết).


Hết rồi, hẹn gặp Leetcode vào ngày mai. Cảm ơn bạn.
