Minimum days for bouquets

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~24 min

You have a garden where bloom[i] is the day the i-th flower blooms. To make a bouquet you need k adjacent (consecutive in the array) bloomed flowers; you want to make m bouquets. Return the minimum number of days to wait so you can make m bouquets, or -1 if it is impossible. 1 <= len(bloom) <= 1e5.

Implement
min_days_bouquets(bloom: list[int], m: int, k: int) → int

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
