Problem
You are given two positive integer arrays spells and potions, of length n and m respectively, where spells[i] represents the strength of the ith spell and potions[j] represents the strength of the jth potion.
You are also given an integer success. A spell and potion pair is considered successful if the product of their strengths is at least success.
Return an integer array pairs of length n where pairs[i] is the number of potions that will form a successful pair with the ith spell.
Examples
Constraints
- n == spells.length
- m == potions.length
- 1 <= n, m <= 10^5
- 1 <= spells[i], potions[i] <= 10^5
- 1 <= success <= 10^10
