Job Sequence with Deadline

A
"""
Given a list of tasks, each with a deadline and reward, calculate which tasks can be
completed to yield the maximum reward.  Each task takes one unit of time to complete,
and we can only work on one task at a time.  Once a task has passed its deadline, it
can no longer be scheduled.

Example :
tasks_info = [(4, 20), (1, 10), (1, 40), (1, 30)]
max_tasks will return (2, [2, 0]) -
Scheduling these tasks would result in a reward of 40 + 20

This problem can be solved using the concept of "GREEDY ALGORITHM".
Time Complexity - O(n log n)
