LeetCodeArrayGreedySortingCounting SortOpen on judge ↗

Given an integer array nums of 2n integers, group these integers into n pairs (a1, b1), (a2, b2), ..., (an, bn) such that the sum of min(ai, bi) for all i is maximized. Return the maximized sum. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,4,3,2] Output: 4 Explanation: All possible pairings (ignoring the ordering of elements) are: 1. (1, 4), (2, 3) -> min(1, 4) + min(2, 3) = 1 + 2 = 3 2. (1, 3), (2, 4) -> min(
