Leetcode 3273. Minimum Amount of Damage Dealt to Bob
Each enemy requires ceil(health[i]/power) hits and deals damage[i] per second while alive, so total damage equals the weighted sum of completion times. The problem reduces to a single-machine scheduling problem (minimize sum w_j C_j) with processing times = hits and weights = damage, optimally solved by ordering enemies by the ratio damage[i]/hits_i (Smith's rule).
