Find Missing Observations
// https://leetcode.com/problems/find-missing-observations/description/
/*
You have observations of n + m 6-sided dice rolls with each face numbered from 1 to 6.
n of the observations went missing, and you only have the observations of m rolls.
Fortunately, you have also calculated the average value of the n + m rolls.
You are given an integer array rolls of length m where rolls[i] is the value of the ith observation.
You are also given the two integers mean and n.
Return an array of length n containing the missing observations such that the average value of the n + m rolls is exactly mean.
If there are multiple valid answers, return any of them. If no such array exists, return an empty array.
The average value of a set of k numbers is the sum of the numbers divided by k.
Note that mean is an integer, so the sum of the n + m rolls should be divisible by n + m.
Ex1:
Input: rolls = [3,2,4,3], mean = 4, n = 2
Output: [6,6]
Explanation: The mean of all n + m rolls is (3 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 6) / 6 = 4.
Ex2:
Input: rolls = [1,5,6], mean = 3, n = 4
Output: [2,3,2,2]
Explanation: The mean of all n + m rolls is (1 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2) / 7 = 3.
Ex3:
Input: rolls = [1,2,3,4], mean = 6, n = 4
Output: []
Explanation: It is impossible for the mean to be 6 no matter what the 4 missing rolls are.
