2830. Maximize the Profit as the Salesman

You are given an integer n representing the number of houses on a number line, numbered from 0 to n - 1.

Additionally, you are given a 2D integer array offers where offers[i] = [starti, endi, goldi], indicating that ith buyer wants to buy all the houses from starti to endi for goldi amount of gold.

As a salesman, your goal is to maximize your earnings by strategically selecting and selling houses to buyers.

Return the maximum amount of gold you can earn.

Note that different buyers can’t buy the same house, and some houses may remain unsold.

2829. Determine the Minimum Sum of a k-avoiding Array

You are given two integers, n and k.

An array of distinct positive integers is called a k-avoiding array if there does not exist any pair of distinct elements that sum to k.

Return the minimum possible sum of a k-avoiding array of length n.

2828. Check if a String Is an Acronym of Words

Given an array of strings words and a string s, determine if s is an acronym of words.

The string s is considered an acronym of words if it can be formed by concatenating the first character of each string in words in order. For example, "ab" can be formed from ["apple", "banana"], but it can’t be formed from ["bear", "aardvark"].

Return true if s is an acronym of words, and false otherwise.

2827. Number of Beautiful Integers in the Range

You are given positive integers low, high, and k.

A number is beautiful if it meets both of the following conditions:

• The count of even digits in the number is equal to the count of odd digits.
• The number is divisible by k.

Return the number of beautiful integers in the range [low, high].

2826. Sorting Three Groups

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums of length n.

The numbers from 0 to n - 1 are divided into three groups numbered from 1 to 3, where number i belongs to group nums[i]. Notice that some groups may be empty.

You are allowed to perform this operation any number of times:

• Pick number x and change its group. More formally, change nums[x] to any number from 1 to 3.

A new array res is constructed using the following procedure:

1. Sort the numbers in each group independently.
2. Append the elements of groups 1, 2, and 3 to res in this order.

Array nums is called a beautiful array if the constructed array res is sorted in non-decreasing order.

Return the minimum number of operations to make nums a beautiful array.

2825. Make String a Subsequence Using Cyclic Increments

You are given two 0-indexed strings str1 and str2.

In an operation, you select a set of indices in str1, and for each index i in the set, increment str1[i] to the next character cyclically. That is 'a' becomes 'b', 'b' becomes 'c', and so on, and 'z' becomes 'a'.

Return true if it is possible to make str2 a subsequence of str1 by performing the operation at most once, and false otherwise.

Note: A subsequence of a string is a new string that is formed from the original string by deleting some (possibly none) of the characters without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining characters.

2824. Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Given a 0-indexed integer array nums of length n and an integer target, return the number of pairs (i, j) where 0 <= i < j < n and nums[i] + nums[j] < target.
