- Given an n x n matrix where each row and each column is sorted in ascending order, return the kth smallest element in the matrix. Walk through both the min-heap approach and the binary-search-on-value approach, compare their time and space complexity, and discuss which one you'd prefer for very large matrices that don't fit in memory.

- DP problem: You are given several service options. For each option i, bandwidth[i] is the amount of bandwidth required, and request[i] is the number of requests that can be handled using that bandwidth.
Given a maximum bandwidth limit totalBandwidth, choose a subset of the options so that the total bandwidth used does not exceed totalBandwidth, while the total number of handled requests is as large as possible.
Return the maximum number of requests that can be handled.
