I found your channel through recommendations. I applaud your effort in visualizing the entire logic. Perhaps might dive into LeetCode someday for the fun of it!

I'm new to DSA and to leetcode, but would this be a good problem for a heap? create 5 nodes, one for each unique letter, and loop through the string. Each time you get b, a, or n, increment the respective node by 2, and each time you get l or o, increment by one. That way, when you look at the top node in the minimum heap, that letter will have the minimum number of repetitions and will decide how many times you can form "balloon" (and that's why letters b, a, and n would get incremented by 2)
