 ## Approach 1: Priority Queue
 
+When you see a question asking you to find something maximum / minimum after `K` operations. It's a hint that this could be solved by priority queue.
+
+In this question, it is easy to see that we should apply the operation on the largest number each time (i.e. greedy approach). If we just write a brute force solution, after each operation, we need to iterate `nums` again to find out the largest number which costs $O(n)$ where $n$ is the number of elements in `nums` and this happens $K$ times, which is not efficient.
+
+To optimise the solution, we can apply priority queue / heap (in python) so that we could find the largest number efficiently, which takes $O(1)$ for finding the max number.
