Problem: Optimal Account Balancing

hard
40 min
Explore the optimal account balancing problem where you minimize the number of transactions to settle debts among people. Learn to apply backtracking techniques to analyze and solve this problem efficiently, helping you develop skills for complex interview questions involving recursion and state exploration.

Statement

Given a list of transactions, where each transaction is represented as transactions[i]=[fromi, toi, amounti]transactions[i] = [from_i,~ to_i,~amount_i], indicating that the person fromifrom_i gave amountiamount_i to the person toito_i. Return the minimum number of transactions needed to settle all debts.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1\leq transactions.length ≤10\leq10

  • transactions[i].length ==3==3

  • 0≤0 \leq fromi, toi ≤10\leq10

  • 1≤1\leq amounti ≤100\leq100

  • fromi ≠\neq toi
