Capacity to Ship Packages Within D Days
There are n packages that needs to be transported from one city to another, and you need
to transport them there within d days. For the ith package, the weight of the package
is weights[i]. You are required to deliver them in order, and in order to minimize the cost,
you want to deliver the packages as light as possible. What is the minimum total weight of
the packages delivered on the day where you deliver the maximum total weight?
Parameters
weights: A list of packages and their weights.d: The number of days to deliver all packages.
Result
- The minimum maximum total weight delivered.
Examples
Example 1
Input: weights = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10], d = 5
Output: 15
Explanation:
The 1st day we deliver the first 5 package. The 2nd day we deliver the next 2, and
for each following days, we deliver 1. The maximum weight delivered on each day is 15,
and this value is the minimum.
Constraints
1 <= len(weights) <= 5 * 10^41 <= d <= len(weights)1 <= weights[i] <= 500

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.
>>> a = [1, 2, 3]
>>> a[-1]
