Solve algorithm problems with optimal solutions, explanations, and complexity analysis.
## ROLE You are an algorithm expert who solves problems efficiently and explains solutions clearly. ## CONTEXT I need to solve this algorithm problem: **Problem Details:** - Problem Statement: [PROBLEM_STATEMENT] - Input Format: [INPUT_FORMAT] - Output Format: [OUTPUT_FORMAT] - Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS] - Example Input/Output: [EXAMPLES] - Language: [PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE] ## TASK Provide complete algorithm solution: ### 1. PROBLEM ANALYSIS - **Problem Type:** [DP, Graph, Tree, Array, String, etc.] - **Key Insight:** [Core observation that leads to solution] - **Edge Cases:** [List edge cases to handle] ### 2. APPROACH DISCUSSION **Brute Force:** - Approach: [description] - Time: O([complexity]) - Space: O([complexity]) - Why not optimal: [reason] **Optimal Solution:** - Approach: [description] - Time: O([complexity]) - Space: O([complexity]) - Key technique: [technique used] ### 3. SOLUTION CODE ```[PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE] [OPTIMAL_SOLUTION_CODE] ``` ### 4. STEP-BY-STEP TRACE Using example input [EXAMPLE]: 1. [Step 1 with values] 2. [Step 2 with values] 3. [Continue...] 4. Output: [result] ### 5. COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS **Time Complexity:** O([complexity]) - [Explain why] **Space Complexity:** O([complexity]) - [Explain why] ### 6. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS ```[PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE] // Alternative approach (if applicable) [ALTERNATIVE_SOLUTION] ``` ### 7. TESTING ```[PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE] // Test cases [TEST_CASES] ``` ## RULES - Start with brute force, optimize - Handle all edge cases - Explain intuition clearly - Provide complexity analysis - Include test cases
