{"contest_date":"2023-07-23T00:00:00","contest_id":"weekly-contest-355","difficulty":"hard","platform":"leetcode","question_content":"You are given a 0-indexed array usageLimits of length n.\nYour task is to create groups using numbers from 0 to n - 1, ensuring that each number, i, is used no more than usageLimits[i] times in total across all groups. You must also satisfy the following conditions:\n\nEach group must consist of distinct numbers, meaning that no duplicate numbers are allowed within a single group.\nEach group (except the first one) must have a length strictly greater than the previous group.\n\nReturn an integer denoting the maximum number of groups you can create while satisfying these conditions.\n \nExample 1:\n\nInput: usageLimits = [1,2,5]\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: In this example, we can use 0 at most once, 1 at most twice, and 2 at most five times.\nOne way of creating the maximum number of groups while satisfying the conditions is: \nGroup 1 contains the number [2].\nGroup 2 contains the numbers [1,2].\nGroup 3 contains the numbers [0,1,2]. \nIt can be shown that the maximum number of groups is 3. \nSo, the output is 3. \nExample 2:\n\nInput: usageLimits = [2,1,2]\nOutput: 2\nExplanation: In this example, we can use 0 at most twice, 1 at most once, and 2 at most twice.\nOne way of creating the maximum number of groups while satisfying the conditions is:\nGroup 1 contains the number [0].\nGroup 2 contains the numbers [1,2].\nIt can be shown that the maximum number of groups is 2.\nSo, the output is 2. \n\nExample 3:\n\nInput: usageLimits = [1,1]\nOutput: 1\nExplanation: In this example, we can use both 0 and 1 at most once.\nOne way of creating the maximum number of groups while satisfying the conditions is:\nGroup 1 contains the number [0].\nIt can be shown that the maximum number of groups is 1.\nSo, the output is 1. \n\n \nConstraints:\n\n1 <= usageLimits.length <= 10^5\n1 <= usageLimits[i] <= 10^9","question_title":"maximum-number-of-groups-with-increasing-length","starter_code":"class Solution:\n    def maxIncreasingGroups(self, usageLimits: List[int]) -> int:\n        "}
