[@matthewzarate8851]

Wow, I had an identical problem to this that was on my data structures exam last Fall semester!

[@matthewzarate8851]

Thanks for the helpful explanation too! After watching the idea behind the approach I was able to complete it on my own. Thx Nikhil!!

[@nikoo28]

always happy to hear that

[@yomamasofat413]

well the easiest way to solve a linked list problem I think is to not use one in the first place

You need to improve naming of variables. Thanks for the video.

[@nikoo28]

most of the names are self explanatory, which name confused you?

[@atharva3433]

@@nikoo28 for example the slow and fast pointer could have been named slow and fast the code is pretty confusing tbh despite the explanation being good. Either better var names or you could explain which var is doing what. Normally i love your explanations but this one felt like you explained the concept but there was a gap between conceptual understanding and practical implementation. This was not a deal breaker for me as i took help of chatgpt to understand what var does what but this might be something you could consider improving on. Other than that great video as always.

@@atharva3433 thanks for the feedback...will incorporate it in my videos going ahead. :)

[@atharva3433]

​@@nikoo28 I haven't had this problem at any other time, and your videos are great for understanding concepts. Slow-fast pointer and bucket sort were two algorithms that I couldn't wrap my head around when I first started, but your videos helped me a great deal. Thanks for your efforts!
