Return the k highest server loads
Your task
Each server in a fleet reports its current CPU load as an integer. A dashboard shows the busiest machines first.
Write top_server_loads(loads, k) that returns the k highest loads, highest first.
Input and output:
loads: a list of up to 100,000 integers, each between 0 and 1,000,000. It may be empty.k: an integer, 0 or more.- Returns a list of integers in descending order.
Rules:
- Each report counts on its own, so equal loads can appear more than once in the result.
- If
kis larger than the number of loads, return every load. - If
kis 0 orloadsis empty, return an empty list.
Examples
top_server_loads(loads: list[int], k: int) -> list[int]Example 1

top_server_loads([62, 95, 40, 73], 2)Output
[95, 73]Example 2
Input

[9, 9, 3]Example 3
Input
top_server_loads([4, 1], 5)Output
