Calculate the minimum waiting time using a greedy algorithm.

|
For doctests run following command:
|
||
|
|
python -m doctest -v minimum_waiting_time.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The minimum_waiting_time function uses a greedy algorithm to calculate the minimum
|
||
|
|
time for queries to complete. It sorts the list in non-decreasing order, calculates
|
||
|
|
the waiting time for each query by multiplying its position in the list with the
|
||
|
|
sum of all remaining query times, and returns the total waiting time. A doctest
|
||
|
|
ensures that the function produces the correct output.
