This approach iterates through each kid's candies and checks if adding the extraCandies to their current candies makes them equal to or greater than the maximum number of candies present initially. It involves finding the maximum candies first and then performing this computation.
Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of kids.
Space Complexity: O(1), not counting the output array.

14}The approach uses LINQ to find the maximum number of candies in the initial list, then constructs the result list using a foreach loop by comparing each kid's candies plus extra candies to the maximum.
This approach optimizes the process by combining the finding of the max candies and constructing the result array into a single pass by keeping track of the maximum with conditional updates.
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1) aside from the result.

This C solution works within two concise passes, determining the maximum candies in the first loop and checking the condition for each child in the second loop without re-evaluating the maximum.
