Day 14/100 – LeetCode Challenge 🚀 Problem: #169 Majority Element   Difficulty: Easy   Language: Java   Approach: Sorting + Middle Element   Time Complexity: O(n log n)   Space Complexity: O(1) 🔍 Key Insight: The majority element appears **more than ⌊n / 2⌋ times** in the array. If we **sort the array**, the majority element must occupy the **middle position** because it appears more than half of the time. Therefore, the element at index **n/2** will always be the majority element. 🧠 Solution Brief: First sorted the array using `Arrays.sort()`. Since the majority element appears more than half of the array length, it will always be positioned at the middle index. Finally returned `nums[nums.length / 2]` as the majority element. 📌 What I Learned: Understanding problem constraints can simplify the solution significantly. Sometimes a simple observation (like majority occupying the middle after sorting) can avoid more complex implementations. #LeetCode #Day14 #100DaysOfCode #Java #DSA #Arrays #ProblemSolving #CodingJourney

LeetCode Problem || Find Unique Binary String (1980)🚀 Today I solved the problem "Find Unique Binary String" using Java. 🔹 Problem: We are given an array of n binary strings, each of length n. The goal is to return a binary string of length n that does not exist in the array. 🔹 Approach (Diagonal Flip Technique): The idea is simple but powerful: Traverse the array using index i. Look at the i-th character of the i-th string (nums[i][i]). Flip the bit (0 → 1, 1 → 0). Append it to a result string. 💡 Time Complexity: O(n) Practicing problems like this strengthens logical thinking and problem-solving skills. #LeetCode #Java #CodingPractice #ProblemSolving #DSA
