/**
 * 455. Assign Cookies
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/assign-cookies/
 * Difficulty: Easy
 *
 * Assume you are an awesome parent and want to give your children some cookies. But, you
 * should give each child at most one cookie.
 *
 * Each child i has a greed factor g[i], which is the minimum size of a cookie that the
 * child will be content with; and each cookie j has a size s[j]. If s[j] >= g[i], we can
 * assign the cookie j to the child i, and the child i will be content. Your goal is to
 * maximize the number of your content children and output the maximum number.
