In this video, we dive into LeetCode 3408: Design Task Manager, a fantastic problem that tests your understanding of data structures and system design. We'll walk through how to build a system that can add, edit, remove, and execute tasks based on a specific set of rules.

The core of the challenge lies in the `execTop` function: finding the task with the highest priority and using the task ID as a tie-breaker. To solve this efficiently, we'll combine the power of two essential data structures: a Hash Map for instant O(1) lookups and a Max-Heap (Priority Queue) to always have the highest-priority task at our fingertips.

We'll also uncover a crucial technique called 'lazy deletion'. This clever trick allows us to handle edits and removals without the costly operation of modifying the heap directly, keeping our solution fast and elegant. Join me as we break down the logic, implement the Python code step-by-step, and analyze the time and space complexity of our design.

Perfect for coding interview preparation and improving problem-solving skills.
