The idea is to sort the scores but preserve their original indices by pairing each score with its index. Once sorted, we can easily determine their ranks by iterating over the sorted list. We then assign the corresponding rank values based on their positions (i.e., 'Gold Medal' for the first position, etc.). This approach utilizes additional space to maintain the original indices while sorting the scores.
Time Complexity: O(n log n), where n is the number of scores, for the sorting operation.
Space Complexity: O(n) for storing the pair struct array and the result array.

10 scoreIndex.Add(new Tuple<int, int>(score[i], i));
11 }

13 scoreIndex.Sort((a, b) => b.Item1.CompareTo(a.Item1));

15 string[] result = new string[n];
16 string[] medals = { "Gold Medal", "Silver Medal", "Bronze Medal" };
17
18 for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
19 if (i < 3) {
20 result[scoreIndex[i].Item2] = medals[i];
21 } else {
22 result[scoreIndex[i].Item2] = (i + 1).ToString();
23 }
24 }
25 return result;

28In this C# solution, use of Tuple enables pairing the scores with indices. We leverage the Sort method coupled with a lambda expression to order the scores in descending order. Based on the sorted order, ranks are assigned back to the result array using original indices.
In this approach, we employ a hash map (or dictionary) to map each score to its ranking position in a sorted list. The scores are first sorted to determine order-based ranks. We then iterate through original scores, using the map to quickly assign the appropriate ranking (medal or numeric) to each score.
Time Complexity: O(n log n) from sorting.
Space Complexity: O(n) due to storage of the sorted copy.

JavaScript utilizes a Map to store the rank information derived from sorted scores. By iterating through the original scores and utilizing this map, we can efficiently assign the rank or medal string to each position in the result, simplifying complexity handling.
