Process

1st round experience

Find the sum of K smallest elements in all subarrays of size M. arr = [3, 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11]; M=4, k=3 sum = [8, 10, 16, 20]

I said correct brute force, but on optimizing, I was stuck using a single multiset. Then I got the intuition of using two multisets: one to store the smallest k and the other for the rest of the elements.
