Expect to be pushed on

What changes if the input cannot fit in memory?
Which assumption makes the approach valid?

Do

  • Use a small diagram when the state is spatial.
  • Keep the invariant explicit during coding.

Avoid

  • Do not assume the problem is a familiar tagged variant.
  • Do not leave complexity or boundary behavior unstated.

Why this round, now

You opened this round directly from the Target. No evidence-backed recommendation is attached.
