/**
 * 2365. Task Scheduler II
 * https://leetcode.com/problems/task-scheduler-ii/
 * Difficulty: Medium
 *
 * You are given a 0-indexed array of positive integers tasks, representing tasks that need
 * to be completed in order, where tasks[i] represents the type of the ith task.
 *
 * You are also given a positive integer space, which represents the minimum number of days
 * that must pass after the completion of a task before another task of the same type can be
 * performed.
 *
 * Each day, until all tasks have been completed, you must either:
 * - Complete the next task from tasks, or
 * - Take a break.
 *
 * Return the minimum number of days needed to complete all tasks.
