Solved "Encode and Decode Strings" (LeetCode 271) The trick? Use a length-prefixed encoding: <length>#<string> For example: ["lint","code"] → "4#lint4#code" Why this works: The length tells the decoder exactly how many characters to read No delimiter conflicts — even if the string itself contains # or digits O(n) time and space A clean example of how a simple idea can handle all edge cases elegantly. #leetcode #dsa #python #problemsolving

LeetCode Problem 1461: "Check if a binary string contains all binary codes of size k": Given a binary string s and an integer k, return true if every binary code of length k is a substring of s. Otherwise, return false. Approach: I simply used a sliding window and a hash map where hash map stores the seen substrings of size k. Two pointers keep track of each substring of size k. A count variable is initialized to 0 which is incremented each time when a unique unseen substring of size k is seen, if this count reaches the max possible number of unique binary codes of size k (i.e. 2^k) the function returns True else False. #LeetCode #Python #BitManipulation #Strings #SlidingWindow #DataStructures #Algorithms #CompetitiveProgramming #ProblemSolving #OptimalSolution

Solved leetcode problem: Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters Approach: Use a set to maintain unique characters in the current window. Expand with r. If duplicate appears → shrink from l until valid. Track max window length. Consistent pattern practice > memorizing solutions. #LeetCode #SlidingWindow #Python #DSA #CodingInterview

Solved the Minimum Window Substring problem using the Sliding Window technique. Goal: Find the smallest substring in s that contains all characters of p (including duplicates). Key Idea • Maintain character frequency • Expand window to include required characters • Shrink window to get the minimum valid substring Time Complexity: O(n) #geekstreak60 #npci #algorithms #datastructures #python #slidingwindow #codingpractice #problemSolving #100DaysOfCode

LeetCode POTD 💫: Description: You are given a binary string s, and an integer k. In one operation, you must choose exactly k different indices and flip each '0' to '1' and each '1' to '0'. Return the minimum number of operations required to make all characters in the string equal to '1'. If it is not possible, return -1.

Day 4/60 ✅ Solved Form the Largest Number. The key idea was customizing the sorting logic. Instead of normal numerical sorting, I compared numbers as strings by checking which combination — a+b or b+a — forms a larger value. This ensures the final concatenation produces the maximum possible number. Time Complexity: O(n log n) A good reminder that sometimes the problem isn’t about complex logic — just about choosing the right comparison strategy. #60DayChallenge #DSA #ProblemSolving #Python
