Important Note: READ THIS BEFORE SENDING A Pull Request

The idea is to collect different solutions/logic in different languages to some of the popular CP questions.
Read the following points carefully

  • The problem file should only contain either the link to the problem OR the problem itself. DON'T add anything related to the solution in the problem file.
  • In your solution, ADD THE LOGIC USED FOR SOLVING IN THE FORM OF COMMENTS EITHER ALONG WITH THE CODE or AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CODE.
  • The logic MUST be in the solution file and NOT in problem file
  • More emphasis is given on understanding the logic used to get the solution rather than the code itself. Hence simply copy-pasting code is not encouraged.

As long as your PR adheres with all the points mentioned above, you're good to go ✨

Happy contributing 😃
