The Battery-Aware Fleet

You manage N drones, each with a specific battery percentage. There are M missions, each costing a certain percentage of battery. For each mission, you MUST assign the drone currently having the highest battery. If the highest battery is less than the mission cost, that mission is skipped entirely. If multiple drones have the same maximum battery, use any one. After all missions, print the final battery levels of all drones in descending order. Example: N=2 drones [100, 80]. M=2 missions [30, 60]. - Mission 1 (cost 30): Assigned to drone 100. New battery: 70. - Mission 2 (cost 60): Assigned to drone 80 (since 80 > 70). New battery: 20. Result: 70 20
