In this session the hosts tried to solve 2 questions which were complex to a certain extent. But as Shamim has promised to simplify the problem for us, he actually got involved and lost count of time in explaining the concept. Kudos to him.

The 2 questions solved in this session are linked below:

In this episode we've tried to breakdown the thought process that goes in solving 3 new DS problems from hackerrank... It was fun to record this episode especially because one of the questions took around 45min for Manish to understand while poor Shamim kept trying to simplify the concept. As a result, both the panelists agreed to start from the basic and introduce all the terminologies first in the next ep.

The questions discussed in ep 2 are linked below:

  1. https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/electronics-shop/problem
